Hi, gang,

Is anyone interested in shooting two RV-8s, separately and together? Looking to get my airplane shot since it has new paint, and my girlfriend also has a slick looking RV-8.

We're both FAST qualified pilots, and as some of you may know, I also teach photographers how to be A2A photographers. The photo plane pilot is also formation qualified, so you will be working with safe professionals.

We're looking to collaborate and be able to use the original files for our private use only. We won't sell or inhibit your use of the photos. If we post your work on social media, we will credit. If any publications want to use the photos, we can direct them to you, or with your permission, provide them the file(s) and tell them to credit you as you want.

This would be a comprehensive shoot, capturing both aircraft by themselves, and several poses together. It would be a 1.5 hour photo flight, probably a little longer. We'll operate out of Falcon Field for an afternoon/evening shoot along the Superstitions. We want certain views of the aircraft, and are totally open to your ideas as well. We will pay the gas for the aircraft. Your photo ship would be a 450 HP Super Stearman or a T-6.

If you're interested, please get in touch with me at 602-430-6795 or LightAndLift@cox.net. Thanks in advance!

I have a few slots left for the Spring One on One seminar, held March 11-14 at Marana. Contact me at LightAndLift@cox.net for details.

Hope all are well!

I like them, too! Thanks, Joe!

Howdy, folks,

The workshop is tomorrow, and I'd be happy to accommodate any last minute photographers. Can't make the 1-4pm ground school?

No problem.

I can work with you to run you through during Friday or Saturday, too.

No additional charge for front-seat flights in Stearmans as they make formation training flights. Dedicated photo flights in Stearmans are $1,100 per flight - YOU plan and run the flight while receiving real-time instruction.

Evening shoot Thursday (and possibly Saturday) night; $25 fee for each if you don't attend the workshop. We'll have one or two Stearmans posed, and we'll run one for blurred prop and smoke photos.

Contact me ASAP if you'd like to attend.

Hi, Gang,

Just a quick update on this fall?s air-to-air photography workshop in Mesa, Arizona? Student spots are still available, and we now have ten Stearmans participating in the event.

That means a better than good chance of riding along on a formation training flight (no additional cost to you) or scheduling your own dedicated photo training flight.

Contact me at this email address, or give me a call at 602-430-6795. There are more details in the attached PDF.


Keep shooting,

Hi, Gang,

In conjunction with the Lost Dutchman Stearman Fly-In and Formation Clinic, I'm holding a One-On-One/Air-to-Air Photographer Workshop.

By signing up, you'll get a discount rate on the ground school, and the chance to ride along on formation training flights. There will also be limited opportunities for dedicated photo flights that you plan, brief, and run. Normal de-briefs will be held, along with an educational brief-back.

Slots are very limited, so please sign up soon or contact me for more information.

Hey, I know that plane! Good thing I wiped it down before I left!

Thanks, Anna. Hope all is well with you. 

Ok, can I play?

This is Mike Doyle in his 450 Super Stearman and Ben York flying Dale Churchill's stock Stearman as the camera plane. Thanks to both!

Thanks, guys!

I have been, thanks. Nice bunch of folks here.   

Gearing up for students at One-on-One / Air-to-Air.

Go to the URL in the photo, or contact me if you're interested.

I'd say coming in because the tug is still sitting in front of the airplane.

Nice shot, Jonathan! I wonder if that was one of my flights.
