SpaceShip Two was unveiled tonight out at Mojave. Here are a couple of my shots from 'out in the bush'.

I'd swear I saw snowflakes driving back home tonight.........COLD!!!!

Nicely done, Brian!  Read about it this morning on Yahoo News.  I knew Sir Richard Branson had something else up his sleeve.

Yeah, it was cold. I took the first shot prone in some mud to get the angle I wanted.

I got there about sunset and shot some images of the structures they had put up, but it just got so cold and windy I had to get back in the truck and shoot with the camera braced on the window. Shot about 250 images, 45 came out, lol. Fortunately I managed to get one just after they turned the spotlight off as WK2 was being towed back, and had that great purplish tint to it.

The Ice Bar was pretty cool... pun intened.

   I hear they served vodka in hollowed-out ice cube glasses.  Doesn't get much cooler than that!

Some on hand...

Yup, Jim, it was indeed COLD! I hung around awhile and it started snowing as I did my walk around shots. I'll post my stuff this evening, as I haven't downsized any of it yet. Meanwhile, I fed two clients, and you can see stuff here:

Best part of the evening, Burt's wife coming up and giving me a hug!

Great shots guys and really swank event.  I just saw the Governator on Saturday at the carshow as well.  Got a quick shot that is so so.

I heard from a source, this morning, that before the party was concluded, the winds brought down a portion of the compound where the event was held. Wouldn't surprise me as strong as they were but unfortunate.

Nice shgots Alan!

I'm a bit behind the curve today as my daughter just got married back in San Antonio.
