Champagne Taste…on a Beer Budget
I recently received a call from a potential new client. Like a lot of calls from folks I’ve never met before, she began with the phrase “We love your work…” Usually this is a good indicator, but there are times when it can have a double meaning. Such was the case with this call. At this stage of my career, I’d consider myself an experienced business owner, and so I’ve learned to take a cautious stance when evaluating a potential client’s candor.

Getting Inspired...
Three years ago I walked into a small aviation supply store, and it literally changed my life. It's a small store, with advertisements provided by various vendors tacked up on the wall, and an exceedingly ordinary display area. The products are neatly arranged and the florescent light makes it easy to read the small tags under each item. Think antiseptic. To be honest, I can't even remember why I went in, as I'm not yet a pilot, or an aircraft owner.
Atlantic Aviation Decorated with Aerographs
If you're attending NBAA in Atlanta this month, you'll see our vintage aviation photography gracing the walls of the Atlantic Aviation FBO, the home of the static displays at Dekalb Peachtree Airport (PDK). Enjoy!
July Winner Selects Ford Tri-Motor Rudder
Our drawing winner, Jim Way sent this note: Your photos are great. So many quality images makes it difficult to make a selection.
However, I think I’ve settled on the Ford Tri-Motor Rudder black-and-white. I’m a fan of the more abstract images and this one looks great.
Splosh-Kosh Update!
John Slemp has been busy. . . He's been shooting great photos at the EAA AirVenture in OshKosh Wisconsin, (this year's event was so rainy it's unofficially been called "Splosh-Kosh.")
WASP's at Oshkosh
Last summer at Oshkosh, during the event known as "AirVenture", I was having a casual conversation with Debby Rihn-Harvey, while making a few portraits of her for Women in Aviation International. We were away from the main hubbub that is Oshkosh, in the Weeks Hangar. It is where all the aerobatic pilots keep their aircraft during the week of the show. It is large, secure, and close enough to maintenance help, should it be necessary. We were shooting in an area off the main floor, where we had set up an impromptu studio.
