Contest Winner and Splosh-Kosh Update!

John Slemp has been busy. . .

He’s been shooting great photos at the EAA AirVenture in OshKosh Wisconsin, (this year’s event was so rainy it’s unofficially called “Splosh-Kosh.”)

He’s got great photos and great stories as soon as we can lock him up in a room with a computer long enough to write some posts for this blog . . .

Here’s a quick note from John

Here we are “returning to base” after the first shoot last Tuesday morning.  Next to me is Eric Varndell, the Global Marketing Manager-Aviation Tires for Goodyear.  That’s mud and water all over me, as the shot required a prone position in a grassy (muddy/wet) area.  No worries though, as we got the shot . .  . Jeff Monter, the agency creative director is behind Eric (wearing an Aerographs hat!), and Mark (who prints and distributes the calendars) is seen over my shoulder, carrying the ladder.  All in all, it was a great week!  We went to breakfast right after this.

Meanwhile, join us in congratulating Jim Way, who won a 24 x 24″ fine art print of the Douglas SBD-5 Wing & Speed Brakes.

If you haven’t signed up for our newsletter, do it today and you’ll be entered for next month’s drawing for a 24 x 24 print of your choice!
