Oshkosh, WI

Through my travels, I've shot portraits all over the world. In my photos, I work to capture real moments and honest emotions. I search for subjects with unique facial features. Shot in both color and black and white, these images function as a window into understanding not only the subject, but ourselves.

The Wilderness & the Wild Blue Yonder at Oshkosh (KOSH)

Charles Lindbergh was a pioneering aviator famous for making the first nonstop solo transatlantic flight in 1927. He understood the allure of aviation and the freedom it offered, but he also recognized the juxtaposition between the modern world represented by aircraft and the vast, untamed wilderness of the skies. He once said:

“Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.”

While aircraft can transport us to the most remote and beautiful places on Earth, the act of camping with them brings a bit of the civilized world into the wild. Aircraft are symbols of technology, industry, and human innovation, and when used for camping, they can introduce a touch of comfort and convenience to otherwise rugged environments. This blending of modernity and nature can create a unique and sometimes humorous contrast, as aviators adapt to the challenges of camping with their flying machines.

Drying a Towel During Camping

Camping with aircraft is like trying to bring civilization to the wild blue yonder. They hung their damp towels over the motionless propeller blades of their aircraft, using the outside air to dry them effectively. Who needs a campfire when you've got a Pratt & Whitney to heat things up? The quiet surroundings and the sight of towels gently swaying in the breeze piqued the curiosity of the locals passing by. But for us aviators, it was just another day below the skies, embracing a towel-drying technique that would become part of our camping lore. 🤣🚀

Flying Over 1 F-22 Raptor & 2 F-35 Lightning

As our aircraft lifted off the ground, soaring into the blue expanse above, a sense of mystic adventure enveloped us. Below, the formidable silhouettes of one F-22 Raptor and two F-35 Lightning fighters sat in silent testament to human ingenuity and the spirit of exploration. Parked side by side, they faced the verdant embrace of the surrounding trees, their sleek forms a stark contrast to the natural landscape. In the distance, a handful of houses nestled beside the road offered a glimpse of the mundane world we were leaving behind. This moment, a blend of technological prowess and the timeless quest for discovery, seemed to echo the words of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart: "Adventure is worthwhile in itself." Here, suspended between the earth and the heavens, we were not just witnesses to the legacy of aviation; we were part of its ongoing journey, propelled by the same relentless curiosity that has always driven humankind to push beyond the visible horizon.
