I am alive and well...

Al,
Thanks for the complements...
To be honest I wasn't offended at all. If anything it was rather funny to
me in a dark sort of way. The thing that I am most curious about is who or
how the tale started. Yes I was and perhaps still am hurting, but to say I
am suicidal??? Rather a major stretch to say the least.

As for how I got started shooting Emergency Services... A friend and fellow
shooter got me into it and I discovered that sitting on the skids at 120mph
while tracking another aircraft was great fun. IT is without a doubt the
most challenging photography I have ever done. Granted it is not for the
faint at heart but who else can say they have done an air to air shoot over
Washington DC AFTER 9/11. My passion though in aviation is and always
will be Warbirds. However there are so many shooters trying to get into that
world it is almost a deterrent.

With regards to your Robinson... I don't think I have any shots of
Robinsons in action, however I may have a shoot coming up early next spring
that may include several Robinson Helicopters. At the moment though it is
just an idea that is being considered.

I hope everyone enjoyed this little series... Ironicaly I have gotten
so used to printing in large scale I am having to relearn how to scale
down images.
Something that is obvious when I went back and looked at the images
that I have just posted, it is also a skill that I had better reaquire
pretty fast for my website.

Though I will lurk and try to reply to any requests for additional
info. The old days of massive uploads are now in the distant past..

Nice series, Andrew! Too few helos on this group. Well, and hangar
queens... ;-)

Welcome back, from a longtime lurker without anything of my own to
post. I never saw any of the offending posts you mentioned, and until
just now, hadn't made a connection that you were gone. Once you mentioned
"That Annoying Twit," I said, "Oh yeah!" and stirred the memories of a
rig demolishing your car, among others.

How'd you get into the field of shooting emergency service
aircraft? Sounds like a career change I could actually enjoy, for a
change.

The attached is not my shot, but my girlfriend's, since I'm in the
right seat. She wanted to know if the Robinson was found in a cereal box
;-)

- Al.
