San Francisco’s Fleet Week 2012

I love airplanes. Specifically the classic WWII planes, spitfires and mustangs and the like. I was never very good at building models but I bought them anyway, and have a giant scar on my thumb to remind me to never be trusted with an exacto knife. And somehow I have always managed to miss Fleet Week here in SF, but just barely. The Blue Angels would roar past our office, and I’d just catch a glimpse.

Crane & Canopy Launch Party

And the bedding is all very cool too, we have ordered some sheets and given a comforter as a gift already. Check them out at craneandcanopy.com

I hadn’t gotten to shoot much lately so it was nice to get some pictures I was happy with. Colby and I were messing around with some long exposures, and it’s fun having someone to test out ridiculous shots. It also just helps to have talented friends. Ah, I forgot much …
