About Winged Eye

I started working in photography with the old film cameras many years ago. Now, it's all digital. A combination of love of flying and a love of photography led to this choice of career.

Working with the Civil Air Patrol, I honed my skills in aerial photography doing damage assessment and search-and-rescue photography. After doing this for many years, I decided to finally turn professional.
