Round II of my new Faces Series. These were also shot down at Blip Roasters this last Sunday Morning. I plan on moving this around some, so keep look out for me and my whteboard.
I hope you enjoy viewing them, as much as I did shooting them! And if you find yourself at Blip one Sunday morning, or where ever I have my setup, feel free to jump in front of the whiteboard, and add yourself to the collection.
Cheers!

Its been a few weeks since I have had a chance to make it down to Blip Roasters in the West Bottoms to shoot all the cool bikes & people. This morning, I had a chance to fix that.
I hope you enjoy the images from today.
Recently I was tasked with coming up with a new angle on an old favorite. I love our skyline, but I may have been stuck in a rut. So I went out looking for a new place and a new space. Below is one shot of the old tried and true, and the rest are what I found when I went looking for something new.
This week I had my first opportunity to ride in a helicopter with @RiversEdgeKC out of the Charles B Wheeler Downtown Airport just north of downtown Kansas City. Walking up to the helicopter I was nervous with excitement and anticipation, having never done anything like this before.
Once I was strapped into the front seat, a bit of reality set in that soon nothing but some spinning rotors, and aluminum body work would separate me from the ground below, and I may have started to have a mild bit of a panic inside my head. Of course, I played it cool on the outside while Tim got everything ready to go.
Luckily, once we got a few feet off of the ground, my mild palpitations turned from panic and fear into an unrelenting wave of sheer excitement. And soon I was more concerned about my shot then the fact that I was in a doors off flight with just a seatbelt keeping me in my place. This was by far one of the most exhilarating things I have done in a long time. And the fact I was able to capture some amazing images (more to come on that) made it all the better.
