Nellis is one of the hardest, most frustrating places I've ever shot at. The light is very tricky, and the runway is far away.
But, one of the most beloved departures at Nellis is the "Flex West" departure.

Joe Copalman at Red Flag. Joe's a cut-up, but entirely serious when the camera goes up. Awesome photographer and excellent co-pilot in an SR-22 simulator.

I have just now decided that I will edit one photo a day. Minimally (As if I could do anything, but, Still usig Windows Live Photo Editor) The way, the 26 or so hours I'll be spending in the car ths coming weekend will not be so boring-I'll have hundreds, if not, thousands of photos. :)
This is my one for today, I just adjusted the contrast-I can't even process anything atm cuz I'm just so tired. Will probably decide on a different edit next time around. And there WILL be a next time...
Today was very busy! Two trips to the grocery store before 1230, One to Wings, One to a surfshop, one to the Life is Good shop, and LOTS of swimming! :) We started off at the beach, but an hour and a half or so they issued a red flag-no swimming for the rest of the day. I believe it was due to the rip tides. Thank goodness we have a pool in our backyard (as well as a volleyball net, horse-shoe rink(?), shuffleboard court and other things. And really, with all that stuff and all this family, you don't really run out of things to do. Ever. It's non-stop. I am SO tired. And I have a surfing-lesson tomorrow at 8. Let's hope they've taken that cursed red-flag down by then. :)

June 12th 2010. Red flags at the beaches in Phuket indicate that the ocean may not be safe for swimming. This was a calmer day, but Karon Beach can be rough. People drown every year. Karon beach information on my Phuket Blog : www.jamiesphuketblog.com/2007/09/karon-beach.html.
