I love what I do.  No other field of work offers the kinds of opportunities to witness and participate in so many exciting settings.  Sometimes, I find myself shaking hands with greatness as I place a microphone on a world-famous personality.  Other times, I experience rare proximity to raw power, like setting up on the edge of the active runway while business and passenger jets land less than a football field away.  I still find it hard to believe some of the places I've gone to capture "the image."  The access that being a cinematographer and photographer can afford is rarely matched in any other profession.

The footage I was gathering is in the process of post-production for an airport-speciifc product package by JCB.  As airports have common specific needs in terms of ground care, JCB has recognized that their unique Fastrac tractor product can handle several jobs usually requiring multiple pieces of slower and less flexible equipment.  A new marketing video on the subject will be finished at eThree Media within the next several weeks.

In the meanwhile, I'm giddily scrolling through a short stack of up-close and personal shots gathered at a major airport - the kind of stuff that makes me glad I'm an image maker.
