This past week has been packed with lessons. Big and small, valuable and ... frustrating.
I want to write about one of them, as it directly relates to photography as a business, for my own sake and for all of you out there who are trying to make it, but probably not today. Today we have gorgeous weather, therefore I'm in a much lighter mood and have wonderful plans for the future.

So, instead, I'll share some pics from the night flight last week.

 
Unfortunately I couldn't photograph nightscapes themselves - not enough ISO on any of the cameras... but you can trust me that it was magical. Like winter holidays, only in September. Lights, lights, lights everywhere... cars running on highways... white on the left, red on the right...


Everything and everyone turned into lights. It all seemed so strange and different from up there.

And, of course, there was the sunset. Completely unobstructed, beautiful light show.


Imagine watching all of that for a few hours and then you start developing this feeling of alienation from the reality.. As if nothing else exists but this world of lights, sound of the engine, voices in the headset...

and when we landed and got into our car... we became one of them - lights. Just a light on the road - like everybody else. And it felt very peaceful.
