Texan 2 Texan

Monday, November 19, 2012

Here are a few of my favorite shots from a recent Air2Air Workshop I did out in Arizona with Moose Peterson. It was a wonderful time and Moose was a great teacher. I was able to shoot a T-6G Texan from the air while in the back of another T-6 (Harvard). The back canopy was rigged to open all the way up, like a convertible but in reverse. This created a calm air pocket out of the slip stream to shoot from. Seeing that I have loved old WWII era planes since I was 8, this experience was spectacular. Open canopy, 70-200mm hand held, radio headset to direct chase plane while in tight orbit around Arizona’s red mountain landscape…just awesome. I also can’t say enough about the wonderful people of the CAF Arizona Wing at Falcon Field Airport. The other images are of a C-47 and SJ B-17.

Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge by Santiago Calatrava

Sunday, August 26, 2012

Where GuestBook’s is running a photo essay I shot on the new Calatrava bridge in Dallas. The books are currently on coffee tables in hotels around the country. I had a great time shooting the bridge at night and was lucky to have a few hard rains so there was actually water under the bridge.

It was great fun seeing a couple of images I took for the New York Times in the paper today. Eric, Jason, and Barak are gearing up for the Indie Film Festival at the Texas Theater in Oak Cliff this June. They have totally revived the Oak Cliff Theater on Lexington which even includes a bar now.

FA-18F Swordsmen – Fighting 32nd

Friday, November 18, 2011

This past weekend I was working with a friend near Love Field when we saw two F-18 Navy Jets fly by, circle, then land at Love Field. After driving around the airport for a bit I located the two planes and made my way to the refueling port where the planes were parked. Right when I pulled up the four F-18 pilots came out on their way to the Navy/SMU game that they just flown over. I learned they would be taking off in the morning. So I showed back up Sunday morning and just happen to pull into the lot right when they did. Followed them out to the tarmac and was able to shoot a few pictures before the took off. They were part of the 32 Fighter Wing off the USS Harry Truman.

Thank you guys! I really appreciate you and your service for our country. Let me know if you want any of these pictures.
