I've been interested in photography ever since I was a kid and my father bought me a little Kodak Brownie camera. A few years later he bought me some darkroom equipment. He always seemed to have a camera nearby, for family shots and sailing adventures. (I grew up in Tampa, FL).
Fast forward...…I discovered aerial photography and instantly was hooked. Nothing beats flying around in the skies, composing shots from a fast moving platform. It's exhilarating and infectious. Twenty years in a helicopter should qualify me for a pilot's license, but I stick to my love, the camera and photography.
