“Bucket Of Bolts” And More!

Tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday at the Palm Springs Air Museum you can see the only remaining still flying B-29 Superfortress “FiFi”. Bring your camera like I did and will be doing. You can tour the interior, watch her fly and even take a flight! Other planes will be out there too, like “Bucket Of Bolts” a C-45 WWII Military Transport. You can fly on “Bucket Of Botls” for as little as $75! Anyway I am just really big on this because it is one of those “once in a lifetime” opportunities and just believe people should take advantage of it when it comes your way. Especially if you live right here in the Palm Springs area. Check out the Palm Springs Air Museum Facebook page and website at http://psam.org for more info.

‘What’s Up Doc?”

The C-47 World War II Transport “What’s Up Doc?” doing some qualifying air time flying overhead yesterday. The tail section and wings are marked with the D-Day Invasion Stripes that identified Allied aircraft. Out of the Palm Springs Air Museum and on the way to the Air Show in El Centro California for this coming weekend.

Bikini Weather

I saw a swimsuit ad yesterday about getting ready for bikini weather. It is always bikini weather for me and my cameras. Especially with Ashley Owens Gulina! Makeup and Hair Styling by Natalie Lyle.

Bored And Sipping On Your Frothy Coffee

Just imagine sitting over there in the passenger terminal waiting for your flight, slightly bored, sipping on your frothy coffee when you see this come in for a landing! Just WOW! The World’s only still flying B-29 coming in to the Palm Springs Air Museum. I really urge you not to miss the opportunity to go see “FiFi”! You can tour the interior, watch her fly or even fly on board. One of those “once in a lifetime”!

“FiFi” Ain’t No Dame!

“FiFi” is the World’s only still flying B-29 Superfortress. Flown at the end of World War II, it was B-29’s that dropped the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There were 3,970 built and “FiFi” is the only one still flying as you can see in my photographs with her coming in to the Palm Springs Air Museum yesterday. You can go see this immense historic aircraft yourself through Sunday. Not only can you just go and look but you can tour the interior or even book a flight. But do not miss the opportunity to see this incredible part of history!

Looking Out Looking In

Walking along Palm Canyon Drive Saturday night taking some photographs. Are they looking out at us looking in? I even caught Mona Lisa cleverly disguised and watching the happenings on the street.

Fly By Backyard

I will confess to just hanging around poolside in my backyard for some of yesterday. It was bright and sunny and 86 degrees. So I amused myself by photographing a few friends as they dropped by.

The Blood Sunday Of Selma

Fifty years ago today, only 50 years, that is within my lifetime… 600 civil rights marchers were viciously and horribly attacked at the Edmund Pettus Bridge after leaving Selma Alabama on their way to the state capitol city of Montgomery, by state troopers and “county posse”. Peacefully and unarmed they were set upon by clubs, tear gas, dogs, lumber wrapped with barbed wire in a most despicable display of bigotry. To this day, such bigotry and hate still exists and not in some far away places, but right here. Mankind is certainly it’s own worst enemy. We all need to do better.

I Can’t Help It!

Can’t help it! I have to do photo shoots that just surprise you…. and me actually! I have to hold back some really fun photographs from this shoot because they are exclusives until they are published. But this is fun for now! With Jamie Lovelle. Thanks!
