I camped out in the old tower at LAX for 8 hours and photographed every departure...

I made some great relationships with the people who work there who wanted to help me get some more shots of the airport. So in return for access, I let them use my shots on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Had to have been taken from the top of this building.

That shot should be presented 30ft high in the terminal buildings. Truly incredible! The composition, camera skill and post-camera work shows that there is definitely still a place in this digital world for talented pro photographers.

And is that a KE A380 in the background there? Just noticed that. What a great picture. You could find something new every day. So, does anyone recognize their car on the roof of the parking deck??

WOW! LAX should buy that from you for tens of thousands of dollars and put it on their main wall... Or wait! Maybe see if you can get thousands of flights instead!! Beautiful work!
