Centennial Airport is one of the leading general aviation airports, not only domestically, but internationally as well. It is also one of the most active business airports in the nation, yet operates efficiently with no flight arrival or departure delays. I have a love for the airplane. It gets me to where I need to go and enables me to reach the farthest places imaginable. With photography being my first love aviation and airplanes of all types and sizes comes in a close second. I was fortunate to be able to personally fly rotor wing aircraft up until 2006. Now I just get to admire them.
One of my photographic specialties is aviation photography. Recently over the summer, I had the tremendous pleasure of working with the people at International Jet and Aviation Services in Centennial, Colorado. There I shot many different styles and class of aircraft for their website in support of their marketing. I feel theirs something special about every plane and my job as a photographer is to capture those lines and discover what makes the plane unique.
