Those converging lines are caused by tipping the sensor back relative to the subject. In the old days you needed a tilt-shift lens to adjust it out (if you want to). These days you just lay a line over two lines that you want to be parrallel and the computer fixes it for you. Magic...and a lot less expensive than a $2000+ TS lens.

That's an excellent point to make, Dave! And I did choose to leave them in here....thought it added a bit of dramatic effect w/ the buildings converging on one point and the cloudes converging oppositely.

Awesome pix, Tim!

Good points guys...its called "Perspective Lens Distortion". For anyone that wants a tutorial on how to correct it in your photos I recommend this:

The similarities would be even more striking if Rodi's model was turned around.

He FINALLY apologized for that debacle he pulled last year......both him and Wade can kiss my ass....one of them should have come to Chicago...instead we got Carlos Snoozer (even if he did play well today...i don't really like him on my team)

What's the point? it's a tad bit late... almost an entire season for him to come to that realization?

To be honest it really wasn't the fact that he left...it was HOW the douchebag left everyone from the fans to the friggin' OWNER in the dark about it....and then had the AUDACITY to make his decision an HOUR LONG T.V. special all about him....seriously? seriously? It was a slap in the face to ANY fan in ANY sport....whew...sorry...I still feel strongly about that incident...pfffft...friggin' entitled bastard...hope my Bulls beat they asses
