In June I stopped at the Tillamook Air Museum, near the Oregon Coast, to take some pictures and video of the Mini-Guppy, a super-sized air cargo ship based on a  Boeing 377. (Or perhaps several Boeing 377′s ) This plane was built in the 1960′s, and flew to the mid 90′s, when it was parked [...]

While in San Fransico for the CROI I shot this piece. In an age of high tech and automation, it is refreshing to see a 120 year old system that relies on “hand power” to turn the cablecars around! Check here for more info about the SF Cable Cars! [contact-form 1 "Contact form 1]
