Now, I’m a big fan of all things aviation – but to take these photos yesterday was both a sobering and ethereal moment for me.
To think of what this aircraft and more importantly, it’s occupants had been through made this one of the more difficult subjects for me to shoot.
Nonetheless, it’s important to document – to think so many people WALKED AWAY from this wreckage is simply astounding.
Big thanks goes out to my friends at BorrowLenses for allowing me to capture such beautiful photos with their gear.

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m happy to announce that our first episode has made it to the “rough cut” stage!
Folks, it almost looks like a proper television program!
Stay tuned for announcements on when the episode will debut…for now, here’s a behind-the-scenes screenshot of me describing why this lost park disappeared. (Hint – guests eventually POO-POOED the idea of ever coming back…)
