I photograph this Air National Guard Blackhawk coming into Southern California Logistic Airport in Victorville, California after fighting the Bridge Fire in Angeles National Forest. The flight line has commercial aircraft from all over the world being stored and used for spare parts. I like the relationship between all these aircraft and the Blackhawk landing above them. It makes for a compelling photograph.

Golden Hour Adventures in Iceland Today was an absolutely stunning day for helicopter tours! I had the privilege of flying twice to the glacier and then to the eruption area. At the glacier, winter truly made its presence felt with a chilling -16°C, but the eruption zone brought a surprising warmth by comparison. I even made a landing near one of the older eruption sites, and let me tell you, the view was nothing short of magical. The sunset bathed the steam rising from the lava fields in a golden glow—it felt like stepping into another world. We’re now entering what I consider the best season in Iceland: the golden hour months. From our first flights around 11 a.m. to sunset at 3:30 p.m., the soft, golden light transforms every landscape into a masterpiece.

Neptune’s BAe-146 does a drop at the Nixon fire in Anza, California with a massive smoke cloud behind it. In order to get to this location, my son and I had to drive on numerous rough, dirt roads and at the same time, keeping out of the way of all the firetrucks. On big fires like this one, it is so difficult to get to the right location to get aircraft dropping and maintaining a safe distance from the fire. Throughout the day, we drove on many dirt roads.

Golden Hour Adventures in Iceland Today was an absolutely stunning day for helicopter tours! I had the privilege of flying twice to the glacier and then to the eruption area. At the glacier, winter truly made its presence felt with a chilling -16°C, but the eruption zone brought a surprising warmth by comparison. I even made a landing near one of the older eruption sites, and let me tell you, the view was nothing short of magical. The sunset bathed the steam rising from the lava fields in a golden glow—it felt like stepping into another world. We’re now entering what I consider the best season in Iceland: the golden hour months. From our first flights around 11 a.m. to sunset at 3:30 p.m., the soft, golden light transforms every landscape into a masterpiece.

I started heading to the Post Fire near Gorman, California on the first day. Because of heavy traffic, it took me over 4 hours to get there. I decided to stay overnight so I could go back to the fire. I saw where the helicopters were dropping and pulled on to a dirt road to get in the right position. All of a sudden the brush flared up, at the exact time Siller’s Sikorsky SR-61A was getting ready to drop. I shot many others helicopters there, but none with the intense flame. Getting to the right location takes a lot planning, luck, and timing.

There were houses on the bottom of the mountain so they were laying retardant down to prevent the fire from moving in that direction.

Cal Fire's Firehawk drops water at the Hawarden Fire in Riverside,California. It was really hard getting to the right location to capture the aircraft dropping because it was in a large residential area. I had to navigate around heavy traffic and in a very large area. Unfortunately, the fire destroyed 6 homes and burned about 527 acres.

Two Los Alamitos National Guard Blackhawk helicopters, 830 and 831, pick up water from the Crafton Hills Reservoir in Yucaipa, California to dump on the Line Fire. I positioned myself on a hill above the reservoir for the best angle and to clear the fence that was around it. The sun was diffused by smoke clouds which made the light very warm.
