I just love to watch dramatic skies – and there are many of those here in Florida. This one was taken during the “Sun ‘n Fun” Airshow. The weather wasn’t too kind and some displays were cancelled and others modified to suit the weather and the ceiling. But it was a great airshow none the […]

It was good to be back on the Fishing Pier at Venice, Florida. It just typifies the Sea Shore here. Very busy with lots of people fishing, many youngsters – girls as well as boys, but all age groups. I wonder how many took their supper home? I was waiting for the buzzer in my […]

Yesterday’s sunrise, photographically speaking was not spectacular. But as with all sunrises (and sunsets) there is that magical feeling of calmness and being at one with nature – and that is always spectacular. Especially when shared with a newly found friend. So on the Beach at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge there was a bank […]

So I am back on the trail shooting warbirds. Because this could be the last airshow the Thunderbirds perform at this year ( because of Sequestration, thanks to those wise men in Washington – the Party that Likes to say NO to common sense) I have been at the TICO Warbird Airshow in Titusville Florida. It has […]

Black and White images are my absolute passion. Whenever I am out shooting I am always asking myself “is this a black ad white image?”. Of course in the (not so long ago for me) old days it was easy, thanks to Kodak’s TMAX 100. So when I encounter really stormy looking skies the answer […]

Is it possible that eleven years have passed? The memory of those videos of the attacks on the Twin Towers are still so vivid in my mind, but we are the lucky ones. This year the Memorial Lights had a different setting with the new 1 World Trade Center taking full shape and adding a […]

As a photographer I am always studying the light of any potential image and I am always looking for that special, unusual and rare light. The special light doesn’t happen very often and when I can capture it with a click or two I feel extremely lucky and privileged. Here are two examples of what […]

Often, as a child, airplanes were referred to as the “big silver bird”. This description was aimed at civilian commercial airliners rather than military ‘planes (the military always applied camouflage schemes to make their aircraft less visible to the enemy). However, recently, with the restoration of old warbirds (such as the P-51 Mustang, B17 Flying […]

Up in the air, bouncing around in the back of a Short Brothers’ Skyvan with the back door open, on a Moose Peterson workshop, and I think this guy wants to come aboard and join us! The air behind the Skyvan is very rough as it is not an aerodynamically shaped design – roughly square […]

This beautiful aircraft in polished metal finish just cries out to me BLACK & WHITE ! So here is the first crop (pun intended, although I don’t crop!) of the images for the T-6 Texan trainer. (Taken on an Air2Air workshop with Moose Peterson). Hope you enjoy!
