So then people

Recently I got to tick off a dream bucket list item, finally got to see not 1, not 2, not 3, but 6 A10s!

These ones are from the 190th FS (Skull Bangers) Air National Guard park of the 124th fighter wing based in Idaho on Gowen Field Air National Guard Base

ZK380 is a special frame for 2 reasons. 1) It is one of a small number of twin tubs used by the and 2) it carries the name of Squadron Leader Mark Long. Always nice seeing a tribute to a vaulted member of a small family.

My Journey

This year marks ten years of camera ownership for me. I’ve come a long way from the start, and my gear has consistently evolved with me. Everyone believes that to get the best photos, you have to have the best gear. That’s not strictly true.

I’ve owned a Canon 30D (my first), a Canon 1000D (I got it from my mom), a Canon 40D (the first camera I bought myself), a Canon 750D, a Canon 1DX (I owned two—one broke; it was my first full-frame professional camera), my current camera of choice, a Canon R3, and finally a Vivitar V2000 (my first 35mm camera).

I’ve loved every single camera, and I’ve used many more. I buy what I love and create the best work I can. Obviously, these cameras rely on a complement of lenses—which is a story for another day. But as you can see, for at least five of the past ten years, my skills were what made the photos, not so much the camera.

If you want to hear more about my story, I’ll be updating my website, so keep an eye out!

92-0022 is a twin stick F16 from the Turkish Air Force

This frame was based for CW25-1. It was fabulous seeing this frame and her single seat sister up close at the night shoot, and I look forward to the next.
