In honor of the the end of WW1 - Ypres/Ieper, Belgium
Getting through my collection from our recent trip to Belgium is taking time, but I did process these in time for the Armistice Day.

Sunrise over the Port and City
The port is busy even at sunrise. And Mt Rainier watches over all.

Got The Cover Of Air & Space Magazine!
So excited to be able to share this news. Three of my photos will be in the November issue of Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine, and one of them is the cover photo.
Lancaster County Airport (right around the corner from my house) has an air show called Community Days, every other summer. In 2015, a pilot named Randy Ball was there with his MiG-17.
My friend, Dan Myers, also a photographer, runs the control tower there, so he and I always have the run of the airport for the Friday practice day and both Saturday and Sunday. Nice to be able to be guaranteed a spot by the Air Boss at show center!
Anyway, he and I got a bunch of nice MiG-17 shots back then. Fast forward to a couple months ago, when he noticed on Randy Ball's Facebook page a request asking people to upload any nice photos of his plane to a link he provided, as Air & Space Magazine was going to be doing a feature on the MiG. Maybe people could get their photos in a major publication. Dan uploaded a few photos, then emailed me about it, knowing I got some nice shots as well, so I uploaded four photos.
A few weeks ago I was contacted by the Art Editor for Air & Space, telling me three of my photos are in the article and that I had gotten the cover. Woot!
So, anyway, here they are. This is the mockup of the article and cover that the art editor sent me of the November issue. And as a bonus, my buddy Dan got the two page spread in the feature; that's his photo going across the airfiledwith the shadow of the plane on the runway (he was perched atop the rotating beacon!).
Yes, we got paid. This wasn't someone asking for photos in return for "exposure".
Enjoy!
