Artist's Description
Word is that in 1911, it was Samuel Franklin Cody who came up with the notion of having a person out on the wing of a plane... to prove the load 10 plus feet out from the fuselage would not upset the stability of his plane! Okaaaaaay!!! Not judging the sanity of the fellow since his motivation was (somewhat) rooted in the interests of safety. For those who followed, that's another matter. Haha.

That's what I try to do with my photos. Besides proximity, I aim to convey a story or stir up the emotions within the viewer when they gaze upon my work. Here's hoping you enjoy your little stay in my...
