Like the long hair Eric! Mine's a bit longer these days as well. Looks good when you have a mullet coming out the back of your helmet!

After flying with canopy open, it's damn close to dreadlocks, it's a tangled mess. The guys I fly with rib me about it all the time, but if I cut it, they'd find something else to rib my about.

hehe, yep, the pain is when you don't get all the hair in the helmet and it's flying around in your face. I have come close to cutting it a few times, but it's for the kids.

In putting together some photos for my online print store, I found a few photos that looked great at full size, but not as great smaller. Here are the smaller versions, which look just okay this size. In a large format, they look pretty cool. The lighting makes a couple of them pretty dark and moody, but I like it.

Cool shots!
Always been a fan of dark and moody shots myself.

Awesome effort, Evan! That shot of the gaggle of Nanchangs looks pretty menacing above that destroyer. There's a fleet of the things at my local airfield and at airshows, with a bit of artistic licence and a few big red circle decals, the Nanchangs play the IJN in mock attack scenarios 
Keep it up, my man!

Thanks guys. I wish I could have caught them over the destroyer. That's actually an oil drilling platform off the coast of Santa Barbara. It is hard to tell in the smaller size.

Okay gents, I have a favor to ask. I have had several people encouraged me to submit to the National Geographic photo contest. I want to submit one or two, but want to make sure I only send what you guys think are my best. It has to be taken in the last couple of years. If you guys can think of a photo, or two, that have stood out from me in the last couple of years, let me know. I have to submit by November 30.

Will do some looking and make my suggestion, they all stand out to me but see if I can't narrow it down.

Thanks, it's hard for me to judge them as I am the one who did it, and I am more critical of my own stuff.
Would perhaps be an idea to post the ones you think are best as well for us to pick from them. I have been meaning to the same thing.

Your telling me! I've been looking through them for a while now and still can't decide.

That looked like a really cool sunset, awesome colors! You should have climbed onto the roof to clear the rooftops!!
Great job with the young'uns...for me, they're hard to keep still long enough to get in a decent shot (I'd rather attempt a high-speed pass from a CF-18!) though it's my sister who excels at kids/small animals/people, etc!
As far as a memorable shot, you took a shot over the ocean during a flight a few years back. If I remember right, it was the Stearman against the ocean, lit by the afternoon sun...that ring a bell? That would definately be my suggestion!
National Geographic also has a user gallery (I have a series of shots there) that you might like to show off your work with
