During the months following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, my love for aviation took me to another field that so many aviation geeks pursue: photography. I spent hours every day looking at aircraft photos, fascinated by how the photographers captured both the beauty of the world and aviation in one frame. Ultimately, on a warm, summer day in 2020, I decided to test out my new interest in an attempt to leave the house. Five years and 50,000 photos later, I take my camera almost everywhere I go -- not only photographing airplanes, but capturing the beauty of life with every step I take.
