David L. Fielding

May 30, 1967 - December 18, 2005

 

This account will be administered by David's wife, Gail Edwin-Fielding (now Gail Aguiar), and remain open for the time being. More of David's photos will be uploaded to Gail's account. (It seems more fitting to leave David's photostream as is.)

 

-------------------------------

 

Graphic designer and art director, retired (released for good behavior) from local advertising and working as an IT manager/prepress guru for a pretty good printing company. I got my degree in 1989; before desktop publishing, digital cameras and the internet. I'm withholding my opinion until I see whether they catch on.

 

That's my day job, anyway. Evenings, weekends, holidays and whenever my boss isn't watching I'm a pilot. I've logged over 750 hours, instrument-rated and hoping to get my instructor rating. A few years ago I bought a restored Piper Tri-Pacer, a stubby little 4-seat airplane from the 1950s. I also volunteer as a squadron commander for the Civil Air Patrol.

 

I'm here thanks to my remarkable wife, gailontheweb; like Flickr, she is original, addictive, and comes from Vancouver.

 

I've started groups for my city:

Scranton

 

And the whole nation:

Americana

I love browsing Aviator Dave's photostream. It makes me incredibly happy to see the wonderful shots of Hugh the cat, airplanes, flowers, and of course, his beautiful wife Gail. I wish that we could be blessed with more of Dave's special photographs in the future, but I'm content with the stunning artwork that he left. I'm moved beyond words by his last photos . . . the tree makes me well up every time. Thanks David, for being a part of my life and for touching me in such a profound way.

David deserves credit on all my photography after October 1, 2004. Without him I'd have no aerial photos aside from commercial airlines, no "Hugh the cat" photos, no East Coast photos outside of Manhattan, and I'd be much less inspired to learn Adobe Photoshop... I'd be much less inspired, full-stop. There's been a … Read more

David deserves credit on all my photography after October 1, 2004. Without him I'd have no aerial photos aside from commercial airlines, no "Hugh the cat" photos, no East Coast photos outside of Manhattan, and I'd be much less inspired to learn Adobe Photoshop... I'd be much less inspired, full-stop. There's been a paradigm shift in my photography, as there's been a paradigm shift in my life, and I owe that -- and so much more -- to him.
