So now it’s Instagram ruining photography, eh? I can remember, like Matthew, when the same complaints were leveled against blogs and twitter. Heck I can remember when the professional photographer world was up in arms about how DSLR technology led to any MWAC (Mom With A Camera) thinking they could make money taking portraits, and…
For my birthday, Angela got us Photo Tour and Photo Pit passes for the Dayton Air Show this year. This was the first year they did this early morning tour, and it kinda showed. It wasn’t the most organized event I’ve ever attended. But, it was a chance to hit the flight line to get…

That’s a big deal.
