Fly high, free bird.

Today for me, was Christmas in May.

When the photo editor called me and said, “I have a really cool assignment for you, but there’s a catch, you can’t be afraid to fly.” Afraid to fly?! I almost peed my pants I was so excited.

These are Copyright the Commercial Appeal. Hands off.

This is Skip Stewart, top 5 in the World’s best stunt pilots. Alongside a pilot from Florida, and a pilot from California, He will be performing a series of air formation stunts in Memphis tomorrow during a festival. Today during their trail run I got to shoot it; from the air.

Shooting from a plane is harder than it sounds. A lot because you can’t really move your positioning to change the angle, or whats in you frame. However this was definitly one of the funnest things I’ve done in Memphis so far. Actually, it was the absolute funnest thing. These are the kind of assignments that you think about while shooting mugshots and shooting speeches for 4 hours.

And this lovely man let me fly back home.
