Here's a classic from Eloy 2003. Seven moderators (Hooknswoop, Remi, the elusive Sangiro, LouDiamond, Chuck, Andrea and myself) and Deuce. Deuce, who was supposed to be taking pictures of US, who could not resist the lure of taking pictures of McGowan.

Not bad, considering there are people on there who fly on their bellies only to pull (and one guy who sees no reason to ever remove his wingsuit from his rig.)

NIce TO see McGowan.

My 1st year AFF was at Chambersburg and it was about when he was heading out. Gramando owned it then.:)

NIce TO see McGowan in a pic is right.



Duece is the camera-man in the pic, MM took the pic.

My pro-track puts the exit altitude at 8,000 feet but I still got 43 seconds of free-fall;). Thanks to Bill for oraganizing. I was sure I would be smeared down the side of the Van, but we exited cleanB|.

Now you know why I stick to freeflying. :P

I love that picture and ordered it for myself. I'm going to add a shot that JP took of us before we went up, and matte it in a nice frame. B|

Bill, thanks, what a great way to start the day!

Now, I'm new on the skydive photography scene so nobody cares when they see an emailed proof for publication by JP Kelly.

However, when they see in the subject line that it's a picture of Mike McGowan, well, they open it! ;)

This is the picture I took of Mike right then. After I got his attention with my flash he took mine!

And MonkeyOne has no problemo with the geekeandese.

Dang, that was a fun jump. New Year's Eve, too.

Edit: McGowan is my hero. His explanation and proofs of how flash helps skydiving photography really took me to the next level. If I hadn't seen that a person could jump with that much gear on his head, I'da never have attempted it.

Look at this guy's helmet!

Nice to see that HH's identity is hidden once again!



Yeah, we all thought it was kind of funny too that even though it's Sangiro's site, we only saw his legs and ass in the pictures! Not that I'm complaining or anything. ;)

A most smack booty photo, as are the other ones, and an awesome skydive even if it wasn't 2 minutes long ;) I had fun keeping Skymama stable the whole time.:P. I also like the group shot on the ground. Who has that BTW?
