Thank you Dr. Corbett.  Performing the selective color treatment on the patient isn't a surgery I regularly do.  The results have spurned me to experiment some on some of the bodies around the laboratory.

Not quite sure how I missed this shot of Vicky Benzing at Nellis in 2017, but I did and I'm glad I went back through the files. Such a wonderful person and a positively gorgeous airplane!

Thank you! There's something about those old prop planes that just lend themselves to monochrome. Like that Spitfire at Nellis  :)

Went to the Wings over the Rockies museum in Denver this past Thanksgiving. I hadn't been there since I was in middle school, and they have really improved their displays and collection since then.

Highly recommend if you are ever in the Denver area.

The complete opposite of my 4x5 large format photographs. This image was taken with my iPhone, I used the Apple "Airdrop" feature to transfer the image as a "TIFF" file directly to my iMac, and then "washed" the TIFF file through Lightroom before posting. Not that I would ever consider my iPhone the equal to any of my film or digital cameras, it does a nice job when your cameras are not handy. I was scouting locations for my large format photography and found this old warrior working on his tan at the Coolidge Airport. It is next to the Pinal County Sheriff's hanger, so I suspect it is a project for their aviation group.  Normally I dislike lens flare and avoid it at all costs. But in this circumstance, I felt it added a stylish "flair" to the final image. Commissioned into the US Army in 1970, this Blackhorse was once a member of the 6th Cavalry Brigade (Air Combat).
