Other Interests: Aviation, Photography# About me
Photographer, aviation enthusiast and private pilot as well as a husband and father of three.
I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska during the 1960βs and fondly recall watching Starfighters, Phantoms and Super Sabres thunder over my back yard. This fascination with flight has never waned. I fulfilled a personal goal when I received my private pilot license in 1985. I experienced the thrill and satisfaction of accumulating flight time in the Piper Tomahawk, Warrior II and Archer II as well as simulated air combat hours with Atlantaβs Sky Warriors in a Beech T-34A Mentor.
My interest in aviation has evolved into a passion for aviation photography. I have been photographing aircraft, along with the people who fly and maintain them, for more than 25 years and have compiled a large archive of unique and interesting photos. While most of my work for hire tends to be color action photography, I also love creating black & white fine-art images.
Today I am a professional photographer, specializing in aviation photography, but also shooting sports, event and fine-art images, using Nikon DSLR camera bodies and lenses. I am also a regular contributor to the premier airshow industry magazine World Airshow News. www.airshowmag.com. In addition to print and electronic media sales, I am available for custom photo sessions.
Thanks again for visiting my DeviantART page. If you would like to see more of my photography, please visit my site at www.Aviationbuff.com.
