Work in the travel industry full-time. I'd like to make a side career of photography.

Disclaimer: You'll notice that I work in the pointy-end of a Boeing 757. While my job does offer the opportunity to see some incredible sights and take some incredible photographs, I want you to know that in no way am I compromising safety to get pictures. All my pictures from the cockpit are taken either in cruise flight when things are quiet, or, if on the ground, when the airplane is stopped with the parking brake set.

For those of you in the industry: None of my pictures is taken during "sterile cockpit" conditions (as defined in our Flight Operations Manual), i.e. in flight below 10,000 or on the ground while taxiing.

Now a word from our sponsor: If you're interested in possibly purchasing some of my photos, please see my site at: www.kensnyder.imagekind.com

If there's a photo on Flickr that you would like to have but you don't see it on imagekind or photoreflect (address below), please send me an e-mail and I'd be happy to get you fixed up.
