My friend Sagar Pathak has done it again. Some astounding and beautiful photography captured during a military exercise in Florida. Here's a sample. Just amazing work again. Well done, Sagar!

Thanks to photographer and all around good guy Rick Vasquez at Stars & Stripes. He let me know that a photo of me holding up a child from the Make-A-Wish foundation. The Air Force did a number of charity events while in Santiago, Chile, and this was one I was involved in as the photographer. Here's the link:

On a side note, S&S has really transformed it's operations over the last 10 years. And it's still a great read.
Thanks, Rick!

Here's the gallery of photos I shot during the officers vs. enlisted softball game for Air Force Reserve Command Recruiting Service headquarters April 25 in Warner Robins. This was a one-pitch softball game (either hit it or you're out) and we had a ton of fun. I shot most of these while we batted. My stats, you ask? 2-3, HR, Triple, grounded out. I also had an unassisted double play. :)

I just got this note from the National Museum of the United States Air Force:
The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force will be opening an exhibition of photographs by Air Force, Air Force News and Joint Operations photojournalists on 1 May 08. We are trying to locate all of the photographers whose work will be featured in this exhibit to send out formal invitations very soon.
Your name matches one on the list as a photographer who will be featured in this exhibit ...
Also, I got my invitation in the mail today! The premiere is May 1. I won't be able to make it, but, if you're in the area and can stop by, do and let me know what photos they used, have a peek at the photo I shot, which is also shown above. The photo, taken in New Orleans just a few days after Hurricane Katrina, is of an Airmen attending to a woman who would later be medivac'd out! Thanks Air Force Museum!
Here's a link to the museum's Web site: http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ ETA: Also adding a link sent to me by the museum of the full collection of photos, here.

SANTIAGO, Chile -- Monday and today will be spent in the belly of an HC-130. It's a plane that's primarily used for search and rescue of downed pilots. The Tuesday mission is the same as today's: fly to a location (Quintaro or Quintero, Chile), pick up special forces guys, let six jump out of the airplane. Then, seven more. Fly home. Very cool.
The flight is one of many that's part of Exercise Newen, which I am told means "horse." The U.S. Air Force is providing air refueling opportunities, the special forces piece I mentioned as well as F-15E and F-16 flying with the Chilean Block 50 F-16s. It ends Wednesday night.
On Tuesday's mission, I shot plenty of good photos. I have not had a chance to move them off my camera yet. When I do, I'll post a few here. I've also got a ton of good video. Again, had I time to move that video from my camera and do something with it, you'd see some of it here. Alas ...
In any case, I'll be flying the remainder of the day and back around 7 p.m.
