Photographing at an old airport hanger has been on my mind for a long time now. There are actually two in the area and every time I drive by I think what an awesome backdrop for a guy! It wasn’t until the other day when the owner of our building came in and told us a story that it really inspired me to try and convince someone to see what I see. The owner of our building (actually there are two, a father/son duo) stopped by the other day to see our improvements and see how things were going at JEM. As we were talking, I noticed he was wearing a jacket and a hat with an airplane on it. I asked him about it and was engrossed in his response for the next 20 minutes or so. He proceeded to tell us that back in the 80’s he flew a single engine plane with a group of other single engine planes around the world! That’s right, AROUND THE WORLD!!! I was so amazed and couldn’t stop asking questions. What an experience! Right? Just the listing of stops and places he visited was amazing. I bet we could spend days together and not hear all the stories. So that gets me to Derek, a senior at Woodmore High School. He trusted me enough to meet me at this very old airport hanger for these portraits. He took all of my instructions so well except the smiling part. It’s alright Derek! The straight/tough face looks great on you!!!
Thanks Derek for letting me be creative with your backdrop and trusting me. I know you must have questioned the location at least once. Thanks for bringing your closet of clothes to pick from too.
