The Only Dual Control P-51 Mustang

The Only Dual Control P-51 Mustang

Another photograph from Wednesday at the Palm Springs Air Museum. The Collings Foundation P-51C Mustang, the only fully dual control version still flying. As well, there are fewer than five of the early B and C versions still flying. General Dwight Eisenhower rode in the back seat of one of these two seat versions over the beaches of Normandy to direct the D-Day Invasion of World War II.

The Only Flying B-24J In The World

The Only Flying B-24J In The World

The only restored flying B-24J in the world taking off from the Palm Springs Airport. Owned and operated by the Collings Foundation flying last weekend for the Palm Springs Air Museum, the Consolidated B-24 Liberator flew during World War II in the Pacific and Europe. I find it very exciting to point my camera at these tremendously fascinating and historic aircraft.

The Only Flying B-17 Flying Fortress

The Only Flying B-17 Flying Fortress

There are only ten of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress still flying and here is one of them. The B-17 flew daylight bombing missions over Europe in World War II. It was made famous in many movies but most recently in “Memphis Belle”.

Yesterday at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Also flying was the only fully restored B-24 Liberator bomber and the world’s only dual control P-51 Mustang fighter. Both from World War II, now owned and operated by the Collings Foundation.

This is just a preview, I will be posting more photographs and videos in the next few days.

You Have To Work Those Legs – I Love Selfies!

You Have To Work Those Legs - I Love Selfies!

I Love Seflies! And here is one from my buddy Jake Sawyer. You got to work those legs in the gym and Jake knows that it is part of a balanced physique that a lot of people avoid working out. Check out Jake on his Facebook page and see how he does it for himself and his clients. Jake has put many of clients in the top 5 in competitions and he himself has walked away with many a trophy, and appeared in lots of bodybuilding and fitness magazines. And in front of my cameras.

I invite you to send me your selfies and I will show you off here on my Blog and on my Facebook pages. Girls and guys, whatever you want to send. In the gym, showing off the hard work you have put in, at the pool, just having fun. Anything a little too edgy for Facebook will go on my Blog and I will safely share it on Facebook. You don’t have to have ever done a photo shoot with me or even met me in person. It will also be a great way for me to see you and talk about photo shoots. Let’s do this, it’s all fun!

You must send me the selfie as a message to my e-mail at SecondFocus@mac.com or on Facebook messenger. I will say that I might have to pick and choose to make it manageable and hold some or change when I decide to post them for one reason or another. Thanks!

“Live The Life You Have”

“Live The Life You Have” – very good words painted on a wonderful hidden and well defined canvas! Cortney Solomon just did her first figure competition on stage at the NPC Grand Prix in Culver City California. Then in front of my cameras at the Power of Fitness Gym in Palm Desert CA. We had just too much fun and I really enjoyed getting in some extra unexpected reading while I was there!
