neptune (2023) (Patreon)

Went through some more shots from the Evergreen Museum and this one just goes super hard; the framing is cool, I love how the vines frame and divide everything. I took it in the rain, also, which is something I should do more of. Rain photography honestly goes super hard and my camera is waterproof enough that I can probably get away with it more often than I have. 

Anyway, this shot is of a Lockheed Neptune that has (extremely rarely) NOT been restored to WWII/Korean war spec, instead sticking with the firefighting livery that it used for the last couple decades of its life as a fire retardant bomber plane. It was cool to see this in a spec other than "War Paint", because usually everything goes back to Army/Navy/Air Force/etc decor as soon as a museum gets a hold of it.

in exciting news, I have edited and formatted the first draft of all my book pages! now the Fun Legalese efforts begin, but hey, that feels like progress!
