Chicago - The Magic and Wonder of Flight
A young boy looks on at the magic and wonder of flight. I've taken a lot of photographs of aircraft at the Chicago Airshow over the years and this year was no different. When I first started shooting, I used to get a huge thrill out of being able to count the rivets in the wing, see the pilot looking back, or catching the afterburner glow, but that changed for me. Don't get me wrong, watching Sean Tucker doing things with his airplane that most say is "unnatural" is still a HUGE thrill to see. Watching the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angels still gives me goosebumps....
However, from a photography point of view, I need a story to tell and for me, this photograph is what an air show is really all about.
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? — it is the same the angels breathe. ~Mark Twain, Roughing It, Chapter XXII, 1886.
All proceeds will be donated to Chicago's Cornerstone Community Outreach in honor of photographer Richard Cleis, 1965-2021.
