AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

By God's wonderful blessings, I was asked to do an aerial photography job for the city of John Day's Airport (for good pay also!!) Above is a picture of our shadow against the field.IT WAS AWESOME!! I had so much fun and enjoyed every minute of it. I was so nervous... not about flying but about doing commercial photography.But I can actually say it turned out great!!



I took about 200 pictures and narrowed it down to 50 to give to them... these are just some samples.The one is the city of John Day below the airport with the mountain range behind.
The best part was flying though!! One of these days I have to take some flying lessons. We were in a very small plane and it was just an amazingly PEACEFUL experience. And beautiful! And then to have the window open and have my camera... it was just awesome!!
I cant wait to do it again!!

Kiddo Photo

These were taken at Aunty Abby's while visiting with friends we've known for 10 years. Their oldest, Lili and Jesh have been best friends since birth and haven't seen much of eachother for the last few years. But, they are so comfortable around eachother (which is big at this age). I had some fun with a few pics... take a look at the one with Toby in the middle. You know, if anyone ever has some constructive critisizm or encouraging words on my pics. please share!! I like to take in ideas and I have soooo much to learn. Remember though, that I do want to expand my talent in the non-traditional, creative, artist photography (sometimes Ben says, "That pic is really weird or off, I don't like it!")But please email me your input, advice, or anything you may have learned!!
