Just a moment to say just how much I have enjoyed seeing the GAGGLE of new photos taken at this years 2009 Nationals.
My art studio at the Boeing Company at one time was located behind the walls of The Phantom Works and next door was a special group of photographers.
They were chosen not just because of their portfolioeeeooeoeees' were filled with purty airplane pictures, but more importantly, it was because these 4 indiviuals seem to be gifted with a rare ability...to be able to "see in advance" just when to PUNCH that SHUTTER BUTTON!

Although this group was fortunate enough to use and have available those new age digital cameras that would "fire bursts of sequence photos" but these folks....had that even rarer' SIXTH SENSE...or MINDS EYE that just seem to KNOW that exact moment when to FIRE OFF THAT WINNING SHOT?

Today...so many of these new cameras are truly amazing...
but bottom line:
It all boils down to the gift of that body, mind and eye behind that camera. Personally we own a debt of thanks and gratitude to these folks who took the time at this years Nationals and captured some amazingly beautiful photos and took the time to share them with us.

Why not take a moment and review these shots and mention your favorite CLPA photographer and lift your bottle or mug of---------------------------
