Back to Arlington

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

This assignment unfortunatly keeps me coming back to Arlington National Cemetery far to often.

Guns are fired for Lance Cpl. Andrew Patten, a marine who died after an explosion Dec. 1 in Fallujah during his standard honors funeral at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington VA, December 14, 2005.

A U.S. flag is presented to Patten’s family members.



ADIS and AOPA: Photographing an Invisible Line.

Monday, December 12th, 2005

How does one photograph a restricted airspace? Today I had the opportunity to take a short flight with an AOPA representative from Frederick to Gaithersburg Maryland. The whole thing lasted about an hour, though flight time should have been about 15 minutes each way.

It was just too bad we had a clearence to fly over the ADIS line that seperates Frederick from Montgomery County airports as I think a picture of a F16 on our wing would have been much more dramatic!

A pilot shows the boundaries of the restricted airspace encompassing some suburban airports outside the Washington Metropolitan area, in Frederick, MD, December 12, 2005. Restrictions around the DC area have made private flying tedious.

The airstrip is seen during landing at Frederick Municipal Airport.



Stake-out ut at the Kennedy Center

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

One of my trusty clients hired me this weekend to shoot the Kennedy Center Honors. It was pretty basic. Kendra and I showed up at the Kennedy Center way to early. I grabbed my position and she ran off to find something to do. After shooting all the celebs I picked up Kendra from a bar down the road and she helped me edit and caption all the pictures form the car on the way home.

Redford looks just like he looked in Barefoot In The Park!!

Celebrities arrive at the 28th Annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, DC, December 4, 2005. Recipients to be honored at the 28th annual national celebration of the arts are: singer Tony Bennett; dancer and teacher Suzanne Farrell; actress Julie Harris; actor, director and producer Robert Redford; and singer Tina Turner.
