Capturing a Moment
Every New Year's Day for the past 9 years I've been flying above the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game, trying to capture an image of the moment the B-2 Spirit (Stealth Bomber) is over the Rose Parade, and later, the Rose Bowl Stadium. The flyover only lasts 2 seconds, so I need to make sure I'm in the right position. Every second counts. The B-2 is flying at 200mph and I'm a few thousand feet above, circling at 100mph. My window to successfully photograph the moment is very small and timing is everything.

This year's image is probably my favorite image of the Rose Bowl Game B-2 Flyover. I was exactly where I wanted to be at the right time, the B-2 pilots were exactly where they needed to be, and the band was on-point and in-position with a huge American flag. Everything just came together for a couple seconds and I was able to capture the moment. It was a pleasure speaking with Kyle Bonagura about the photo and all the preparation that went into getting me and my camera in the right place at the right time.
