Stuart Air Show 2015

Over 50,000 spectators took advantage of perfect weekend weather to join the crowds at Witham Field for the 26th anniversary Stuart Air Show. The partly cloudy skies provided just the right backdrop for the spectacular display of aerial prowess by daring pilots in modern as well as vintage aircraft. Demonstrations by the Air Force F16 Fighting Falcon and the Navy F18 Hornet supersonic fighter jets, as well as the Army's Golden Knights, the world's most renowned parachute team, brought the crowd to its feet again and again. The AeroShell Aerobic team, always a crowd favorite, capped off the day's events, which we were privileged to view this year from the Antique Aircraft Foundation hangar as guests of Dr. Luis Villar.

Stuart Sailfish Regatta 2015

We had another great weekend for the fourth annual Stuart Sailfish Regatta on the Indian River. My daughter and son-in-law were here for viewing their first experience of the exciting racing from the Stuart Causeway Bridge. The race sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association, is open to ten classes of inboards, four classes of outboards and the Powerboat P1 SuperStock Series. Some of the nation's top tier racers plus a power team of 12 or more Canadian Grand Prix race boats brought exciting action to the 1.1 mile race course. SSR is increasing their support to the designated charities, the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast and the US Sailing Center of Martin County.

2014 Photo Slide Show

In my quest to become a better photographer, 2014 was a rewarding year for me in photographing air shows, boat races, local events, and some of the natural beauty found in my travels. In addition to some of the photo albums posted to this blog, I published four books of my photographs from the last couple of years. To see a slide show compilation of some unpublished photos as well as favorites from my blog and books,

I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I did shooting them.

Best wishes for the coming year.
