Well it’s the middle of October now and it feels like fall should be here! But it’s just not. So I decided out on the river the other day that I’m just gonna go ahead and force it into existence with a couple color corrective edits! If it looks like fall, it’s fall.

There’s an old saying that the best camera is the one you have on you at the time. I snapped this with an iPhone. Popped it in Lightroom for the final edit. When the lighting is right, and the scene is purdy, ya just gotta use what’s in your hands. A little know how will get you the rest of the way home. It’s as good advice for photography as it is for life.

Vietnam war tribute. Nothing thumps the air like a Huey helicopter!

As you can see, I was really digging the black white edits.

Something about polished metal, rivets, and black and white photography just feels right. This is the oldest flying DC-3 in existence (1937).

Douglas AC-47 Spooky. Aka “puff the magic dragon” with 3 mini guns mounted within the fuselage. Good display of Vietnam era warbirds at the Madison air show.

It’s going to be aviation week over here! Saturday I went to the Madison Air Show and came home with some banger photos! I was really impressed with the lineup, from the aerobatics to the rare and historical aircraft on site. Well done Madison! I’ll be posting my best shots throughout the week so stay tuned.

Getting to film promo content for live events is one of the most fun parts of my job. This time I was invited to the Citygate church “Sunday night up in lights” festival in Lebanon, Ohio on behalf of Yokum fireworks to film a highlight reel of the day, ending with a spectacular fireworks show. The entire event was great. Thousands of people, fun music, fun and friendly atmosphere, and Yokum Fireworks knows how to put on a show. Check out the video below. If you’ve got an event you want to promote, I love doing stuff like this, so reach out!
