This past Saturday I spent ten minutes (five two minute sessions) in the Paraclete XP SkyVenture wind tunnel in Raeford, North Carolina which recently opened. It is 16.5′ wide and 51′ tall - now the world’s largest wind tunnel. How lucky am I to have this tunnel two hours away? This weekend I’m planning on getting in for another 30 minutes.

It is mind blowing how much you can learn as a skydiver inside a wind tunnel in just a few minutes.

Here are some photographs. I’m not in these.

I’ve started buying books on photography off of Amazon and reading up online more. I’m getting better.

Books:
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400D Digital Field Guide
The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers

I ordered a Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG from Amazon to carry my gear.

These are some of my favorite photographs from the past several months.
