A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, flight 4820 en route from Washington, D.C., to Chicago Midway Airport, flies in front of the full moon over East Chicago, Ind., Tuesday, August 20, 2013. (The full burst of images shot in the camera are presented here as a sequence.)
I have a mounting debt of gratitude towards digital image capture. While I learned and shot primarily on the more romantic 35mm film format throughout my teenage years, digital photography took the steep learning curve of the photography art form and squashed it. Immediate feedback on the camera’s LCD screen with what I was doing right – and wrong – made me a much better photographer, and more quickly than waiting on film at the lab.

A test video of bass player Marcus Heffner shot with the Lomokino Super 35 Movie Maker. The hand-cranked camera shoots motion pictures onto traditional 35mm still photo film rolls.

A view looking towards the tail of a B-17G Flying Fortress in the sky over Porter County during a demonstration flight near Valparaiso, Ind., Monday, July 29, 2013. The World War II era aircraft, built in 1945, currently tours the country as part of the nonprofit Collings Foundation.
From my seat in the B-17G radio operator’s compartment, I peered out of the iPad-sized window above the left wing as runway 27 came into view at the Porter County Regional Airport. The aircraft lumbered to a stop at the end of the runway, and a few moments later, the pilot ran all four 1,200 horsepower radial engines up to takeoff power. The old bird roared and shook, as if it were a monster being provoked from a comfortable nap.
