Honor Flight: Limited Edition Available HONOR FLIGHT-- a forty page selection of images from the last twelve years of Honor Flight Network arrived and is sorted and shipping. This book is a "day in the life" of an Honor Flight. I have chosen a variety of "flight experiences" from "Super Saturdays", quiet weekday hub visits, special visits and v...

I went down to the Memorial yesterday to visit with Senator Dole. The last time I saw him was with Jeff Miller in December when he received the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor at the Capitol. He was then surrounded by a "bipartisan" group: Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer etc... Both sides of the political isle filled the Cap...

I was at the WWII Memorial to photograph Senator Dole yesterday. And while I intended to make a few frames and leave. Nevada and Columbus came in together and some four hours later, the last Honor Flight left and Senator Dole and I packed it up and headed home. Due to scheduling, I have been missing Columbus. Today I managed to meet the new Honor...

Fooled 'em again. Rob Williamson and I with the help of all one hundred plus volunteers to keep the area clear were able to make this photograph just before the Drill Team arrived. It was a spectacular day with wonderful clouds, a great breeze and amiable vets and volunteers. I am thinking of entering this photograph in the prestigious "Herding Cat...

A beautiful day and in need of a walk I headed down to the Lincoln Memorial where I finally had the opportunity to photograph Honor Flight West Central Florida. Bev Frey and April Dennis and I always see each at the Summit every years but never get together on the Mall so this was special. With red flag in hand, Bev and Matt their photographer lead...

I was delighted to be invited by Scott Knauf to visit with Upper Peninsula Honor Flight. I headed down to the WWII Memorial thinking it would be a slow day but when I arrived, the Mall was jammed with school children and tourists and Homeland Drive was packed with the buses. The Park Police came through and within minutes, the only buses left were...

HONOR FLIGHT ND/MN As I stepped out of my cab, Honor Flight of ND/MN was just getting into formation for a photograph. It was perfectly balanced between the fountains and their photographer was the first I have seen to use small studio lights on the veterans. I am anxious to see how it works out. NEVER FORGOTTEN HONOR FLIGHT Yesterday, I w...

I took up Brian Ziegler and Jody Babler McClain of Badger Honor Flight on their invitation to do a "ride along". Once at the airport, I had the great pleasure to see and photograph DCA Honor Flight Volunteers Lauren Burycka, Patricia Harris, Maria Temiquel, Cheryl Rickards, Nancy Griffith, ready to support the incoming Honor Flight Network hubs....

Today, I met Honor Flight Chicago at the Air Force Memorial. We were quickly enroute to the WWII Memorial. On hand were greeters George Kerestes, Barbara Hoernig Singleton and Sidney Wade who greeted the veterans as they entered the Memorial. Before he retired, George Kerestes used to come down to the WWII Memorial dressed in a suit and an American...

LIVING IN PARADISE: AM Saturday AM. Court Van Sickler of Honor Flight San Antonio had started to arrange his group for a photo and so with little to do, I made these images. I like this setup for groups because it contains a lot of symbolism...fountains, columns, Wall of Stars and the Lincoln Memorial which make the location obvious and lend the i...
