# About me
I'm retired from both my civilian job and the Navy Reserve which has allowed me to pursue the one thing that has eluded me, photography of landscape and planes. My goal is to continue improving the quality of my images through experience and dedication. I really want to attend future air races till I cannot do so anymore. I will also spend as much time in the outdoors capturing our beautiful world.

Thank you, I am glad your enjoying them. It was the most exciting time for me at the pylons trying to catch these guys blowing by me at speeds of 250-480 mph.

I feel the need for speed! I have flown a plane once faster than that. Just not as low to the ground. Even at just over 120 MPH near the ground seems fast when you are that low.
