Thanks guys!


Favorite places to shoot... Well I just got married in May, and we bought a new house less than a half mile from Hemet-Ryan Airport. So the Cal Fire air attack operation there is my favorite shooting spot during the summer. Of course, I've been hanging out down there since before I was in Kindergarten so it's no surprise, hahaha. The tankers are what spurred my love for aviation.

I recently ventured out to a fire and got some shots of the air tankers in action, actually achieving what I've longed for all these years. About an hour into my mission... I was hit by a retardant drop by Mike Venable in Tanker 73.  ;D :D I was able to protect my camera, thank God.

During the winter, El Centro is my favorite spot.

Oh and BTW Damon, I see you're a member of the Chevelle club. I used to have a 66 El Camino 396 back in the day. I wish I still had it.

Thanks guys, I was pretty stoked. That drop was building on the drop that is my avatar, so I knew I was in the right place to wait for it. ;D

Not completely... my jeans washed out okay for some reason. My button up shirt that I was wearing is still wearable, after going through the wash you can't see the stains because it's dark. My white T-shirt is still pink.  :D
