WELCOME TO THE FLYING LENS!
The Flying Lens? Really? What is that all about?
Yeah, there are all kinds of web sites out there with crazy names but at least give me a chance to explain. First, from the title you can tell this is a website for one of my passions, photography. Simple enough.
Second, in my "real job" I am VP of Sales for a spinal implant company. We design, manufacture and sell the screws, rods, hooks, cages etc. that are surgically implanted to help patients with severe back injuries and diseases. In this position, I fly on about 120 commercial airplanes a year. American Airlines and I are best friends! So this explains the "flying" part of the web name. I take my camera with me everywhere I go and try to take a photograph any time the chance comes up. If you take enough pictures, you will come up with a good one or two!
So, that hopefully explains the name of my humble website. Each thumbnail represents a photographic session with various people, places and things. Click on a thumbnail to see more of the pictures from each occasion. Feel free to contact me if you would like to order prints of any photographs that you find interesting. I can print up to 44 inches wide. If you need a photographer in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area give me a shout!
Smile!
