"Newton Would Think He Made a Mistake"

Texas, here I come!  *checks calendar*  Yep, that's right, I am actually taking to the air once again.

 Having been awarded one of ten high school scholarships to the 2011 North American Nature Photographer's Association Summit, I will be spending the week attending workshops and doing a lot of photography in the field. Among the sponsors are Canon and Apple, and they will be providing all of the equipment that we will be using for the week, including some massive telephotos. This blog may have a quick update or two while I am gone, but more pictures will be online after my return. 

And if you're wondering about this post's title, this soundtrack should explain. :-)

And yes, I've been on nearly thirty flights in the past twelve months. I think the thin air, while not as potent as laughing gas, has a good effect on me. Admittedly, laughing gas will also cause you to fly into thin air (read the "Laughing Gas" chapter of Mary Poppins), but I digress.

Over and Out,
Johan

Wow- thirty flights? My father and brother just went to Ethiopia--it was a long flight!

How is CP going?

Thanks for the comments! It has been a great experience so far.

@Shiloh, CP has been going great! I like the ability to travel while working on college.
