Country: | Cheers Lee. I am already getting some lift from these guys. The funny thing is that they sought me out. I never expected that. They get between 3 and 4 million hits a month on their website! If I get a small fraction of that, it's be great exposure.

Shows just how much your images stand out from the every day shots. I think you could well look towards (if you wished to ) going full time in the next year or so. Only fly in the ointment I can see is job security and the resession, the arts always get hit hard when cutbacks in spending are made.
I see a D700 is on the cards, bloody hell its impossible to keep up with technoledgy.
Had a look (look only  ) at the Hasselblad in my local specialist shop 39meg and £18000, some camera. | |

Country: | 38meg is huge! But then, so it the price tag.
I have thought about putting more time into it, but it's tough. Partly because it's seasonal and partly because it's kind of feast or famine. But I have no idea where things will be in a year. Everything has gone way faster than I expected.

Country: | Thanks guys. I did a little practice shooting today out at Santa Paula Airport. I like this little airport and there are some neat gems out there. I can't remember when I have seen so many Ercoupes or Citabrias in one day. The cross winds were making things interesting. Here are a couple of the take-offs and landing in the cross wind.

Country: | Yeah, I have always liked Santa Paula. It has a unique character to it.
Congrats on the Pentax, Wilbur. I started with film, many many years ago. But it's a great medium to learn on and develop your technique.

Country: | Definitely. Everyone got down safely, but it looked like it was a white knuckle ride.
