Ty is one of my favorite aviation photographers and definately one of the best! Amazing angles, lighting, weather and incredible aircraft really make his photos works of art. Always on the lookout for his latest work, I am usually blown away and always inspired. Keep up the great work. Join me in a toast to a master of his trade.......Cheers Ty!

Ty is one of the best photographers out there. Combined with his amazing eye and passion for photography as well as many great and lucky opportunities, he shares with the world a level and skill of photography that is hard, if not impossible, to match, and it is always very interesting and a pleasure to talk with him. … Read more

Ty is one of the best photographers out there. Combined with his amazing eye and passion for photography as well as many great and lucky opportunities, he shares with the world a level and skill of photography that is hard, if not impossible, to match, and it is always very interesting and a pleasure to talk with him. I consider myself fortunate to consider him a friend.

I feel bad that it has taken me this long to write a testimonial about a guy that I consider a friend in photography. Ty dedicates himself to the art of aviation photography in way rarely seen. Nearly every day he has new photos. He doesn't just get the "typical" aviation shots either. Ty strives to bring a new ang… Read more

I feel bad that it has taken me this long to write a testimonial about a guy that I consider a friend in photography. Ty dedicates himself to the art of aviation photography in way rarely seen. Nearly every day he has new photos. He doesn't just get the "typical" aviation shots either. Ty strives to bring a new angle, new ideas, or a new perspective to the world of aviation photography. I have met Ty and enjoyed the conversation. He isn't only knowledgeable when it comes to photography, but also about the aircraft that he is "shooting". Keep up the great work Ty, and I always am looking forward to what you shoot next.

For the perfect photo to come to fruition, so many elements must fit together perfectly. Most of the time, when this happens, there is a tremendous amount of chance involved, even for seasoned photographers. What is remarkable about Ty's work is the consistency of such perfect images.

For the perfect photo to come to fruition, so many elements must fit together perfectly. Most of the time, when this happens, there is a tremendous amount of chance involved, even for seasoned photographers. What is remarkable about Ty's work is the consistency of such perfect images. The wealth of beauty he's produced suggests more than just a conscientious photographer, but a true master who intuitively knows how to bring as many elements together to leave as little to chance as possible. Ty is not a planespotter. Rather than recording images of individual airframes, his work is representative of the indescribable things that excite us about flight. We all lavish lots of praise to one another on flickr, but the work here is worthy of much more recognition than flickr can afford.

Vector has to be one of the best "crappy weather photographers" out there. He also does very well in good conditions too tthough. After seeing his wet weather condensation shots, I started to give it a try, and hope to be able to start getting some of those awesome wet shots myself. If there is bad weather, and an airp… Read more

Vector has to be one of the best "crappy weather photographers" out there. He also does very well in good conditions too tthough. After seeing his wet weather condensation shots, I started to give it a try, and hope to be able to start getting some of those awesome wet shots myself. If there is bad weather, and an airplane, he'll get it to look great.

Ty shoots some of the most creative aviations images out there! He is always pressing the limits and breaking boundaries. He can consistently "catch the beacon", be it literally or in the ability to capture the perfect second of the event. I love his foul weather stuff, and am constantly on the look out for new uplo… Read more

The coolest thing about Ty is that when others are packing up their gear because some clouds have come in or because the sun has dipped below the horizon, he's just getting warmed up. The way he can push his gear (and there's nothing remarkable about his set-up) to the limits under sub-optimal conditions and produce c… Read more

The coolest thing about Ty is that when others are packing up their gear because some clouds have come in or because the sun has dipped below the horizon, he's just getting warmed up. The way he can push his gear (and there's nothing remarkable about his set-up) to the limits under sub-optimal conditions and produce crisp images packed with drama and, dare I say, gravitas is nothing short of remarkable. A lot of us aviation photographers are just airplane geeks with big lenses. Ty is an artist, light is his medium, and airplanes just happen to be what he points his lens at the most.

Vector1771 contacted me because of my Flickr site. He is a local who came across my pics. We finally met up one day and he hasn't stopped talking about the inner workings of aircraft since! He got hooked on Flickr immediately. I enjoy the mind to pick and the person to talk to while waiting for those Eagles and… Read more

Vector1771 contacted me because of my Flickr site. He is a local who came across my pics. We finally met up one day and he hasn't stopped talking about the inner workings of aircraft since! He got hooked on Flickr immediately. I enjoy the mind to pick and the person to talk to while waiting for those Eagles and airliners to land. I just want to add that since I discovered vector1771, I will take a 50% of all income generated from his Flickr site... Thanks Man - Really!

"Vector1771" always manages to captivate the mind and soul with his images and words that go along... He constantly "re-invents the wheel" which leads to unbelievable feats of photography... it has been a pleasure viewing his work and conversing over subjects...

"Vector1771" always manages to captivate the mind and soul with his images and words that go along... He constantly "re-invents the wheel" which leads to unbelievable feats of photography... it has been a pleasure viewing his work and conversing over subjects... I truly look forward to his work, knowing that each is in its own right, astonishing, keep up the good work my friend!!!

Vector1771 is an unbelievably knowledgeable person regarding military aviation. While I, like most, tend to have a basic, surface knowledge of several dozen aircraft, Vector1771's knowledge runs very deep, beyond the aircraft as a whole, and all the way into the components that make up the bird.

Vector1771 is an unbelievably knowledgeable person regarding military aviation. While I, like most, tend to have a basic, surface knowledge of several dozen aircraft, Vector1771's knowledge runs very deep, beyond the aircraft as a whole, and all the way into the components that make up the bird. I am constantly impressed with the information he provides when commenting on my photos, especially regarding variants of the aircraft, and particularly, his knowledge of avionics packages pertaining to those variants. He is an asset to Flickr, and I highly recommend him as a contact!
