I was in my basement shooting my little diecast Pagani supercar, and I remembered a technique I had seen somewhere using a CD to light paint with. I wish I could give attribution to the artist, but I have no idea where I saw the technique, although it might have come from Eric Paré when he used multicolored reflective paper to create a light painting with Mike Campau. The result was an abstract form of light made up of wild vibrant colors.

Stimulight Photography with Nate Jones
For you that know me, you know I love to light paint. Because of this passion, my buddy Johnny and I started a company named Stimulight the Night.

Check out the post on our Stimulight Page and see what we did with lit up arrows, steel wool, and a super moon!

Painting an Old Friend with Light
This weekend I had a chance to visit the past with an old friend. When my father passed away in 2010, he left behind his 20th Edition Vmax. My Mom would ride everywhere with my Dad on the back of this beautiful bike.
