Kenosha Air Show greets Vets
Old Glory Honor Flight lead by Drew McDonald arrived yesterday with eighty veterans and as many guardians and family. It made for a nice set of pictures as several families flew in and surprised their Veteran at the Memorial. Temperatures were DC HOT but a strong breeze and lots of umbrellas kept everyone comfortable. The group flew last night to Kenosha, Wisconsin and the Experimental Aviation Association annual meet up. They were greeted by an estimated 20 to 30 thousand people.
My Father
He instilled a sense of patriotism and service in his children and whenever I look at this picture, I am moved. His name is inscribed behind the inspection plate on one of the eagles and when i am down there, I always think of him. He didn’t live to see the Memorial erected but he was an avid fan of construction and would have loved to watch the Memorial being put together. He was generous, adventuresome and never saw a situation that he didn’t make better. He also loved boats
Grand View
The great part of my book projects is sprucing up my files. A photo similar to this taken thirty years ago is in the current edition of the DC PHOTO BOOK but wasn’t capable of being taken to a larger size in the new revision of the book because of dust and age so….. I’ve been […]
Pentagon Memorial
I have seen sketches of the new Pentagon Memorial and was not expecting the elegance and sophistication of the design. It is truly a subtle solution for this little trafficked Memorial. We are adding photos to the DC PHOTO BOOK due out in the Fall and this will be a stunning addition. Visit before it’s […]

Michigan Honor Flight
Faye Wisely was the first person I ever contacted about Honor Flight. No one was quite sure of how to go about accomplishing the task of moving all those vets. She pointed me to Earl Morse who was still working it out with Jeff Miller over the dinner table.
Bay Light
A beautiful day of photography on the Bay. and a few photos for the Tidewater project. Herrington Harbour is just getting ready for the season and looks spectacularly fresh. The Osprey have set up their nests in the channel and the ducks have temporarily taken over the pool. Next weekend, they’ll have some competition.
Senator Elizabeth Dole
Just as I had herded all the Canton Akron cats into my frame, along came Mrs. Dole to throw some light on the image. She has taken over for Senator Dole and her presence is as large as his. She is ever gracious and has a empathy with people that is stunning to experience. We […]
