I wasn't close enough to identify which planes were flying (or how many since they were flying in tight formation...), but it looked cool. For a fleeting instant, I considered grabbing my phone and trying to get a picture, but I thought better of it. After all, I was zooming down I-15 at the posted speed limit (really...).
I went to my meeting, came home and after work, chilled on Twitter when I spotted several photos of the very thing I saw while driving. It was the Utah Air Guard celebrating their 100 year anniversary.
Very cool!
I've loved photography since my teens and because of digital photography, I take a lot of pictures...some may say too many, but, well...I live with the consequences of my decisions. Since I take a lot of pictures, sometimes I don't allow life to just happen. I feel I need to chronicle it, to preserve the moments instead of just enjoying the moments. This morning was one of those times.
I wanted to show you what I--and apparently most of the Wasatch Front--saw this morning so I "borrowed" a photo from an excellent photographer who just happens to have the same name as me. I've been honored by several of my friends asking me if I took one of the many photographs he's had re-posted by many many people because his photographs are so amazing. I'd love to have his eye (and his equipment...) ;). You can check out his Twitter feed by clicking: HERE. I hope my borrowing is okay.
This morning, the moment didn't exist for me because I caught it with photos. It became part of me because I saw it and admired the beauty of these incredible machines and dedicated people who fly and maintain them. I need to remember that...
Especially while driving.
