Stone Fence on a cloudy day; the clouds must do their part or the image falls apart.

Stearman Model 75 The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75, built in the 1930s and 1940s, was used as a military trainer. These are beautiful and colorful airplanes. Unfortunately, color photography was uncommon before WWII. Even in B&W, they’re still a powerful looking aircraft.

Wet Husky This guy is under a year old; really, just a puppy yet, full of fun and playful antics. Today was his first experience playing in a lake. After learning to swim, taking all of about 10 seconds, he was having a great time. He stopped just in time for me to grab a few clicks.

Nap Time Sometimes, a nap is the only solution.

It’s all about the light! Good thing tonight’s walkabout had some decent light.

F/A 18 Super Hornet at Chicago Air & Water Show A few years ago, a fine aviation photographer introduced me to the Chicago Air & Water Show. If you have never gone to it; it’s a really nice venue for capturing aircraft images along the beach, particularly if you like jets. You can’t always pick the background, but even with these bald skies, the vapor trail provides some contrast. The best time to go is Friday for rehearsal; fewer crowds, same show. This year’s show will be this coming weekend. The Thunderbirds will be headlining. Of course, they’re always fantastic. Hope my photog friends can capture some good images this year.

Jet Airport in B&W Some photogs shoot in B&W exclusively. Obviously, I’m not there yet.

Cactus Flower Sometimes, a change of pace with a dessert flower can be important.
