Photo of the day (10-29-09)

Today’s photo of the day is of Flagship Detroit, a fully restored DC-3 that’s operated and maintained by current and former American Airlines employees. This crisp black and white shot was taken by Flickr user CaptBrando.

Two years ago I had my own DC-3 adventure as my dad and I delivered one from New York to Seattle, so how could I not choose this?

That and it just seems appropriate to take pictures of classic airplanes using black and white, doesn’t it? Well done CaptBrando!

Photo of the Day (1/22/08)

Here’s a landmark from CaptBrando that’s one of the most famous in the world. If it isn’t immediately recognizable to you, try looking from a different angle.

I like the decision to make this shot black and white. Maybe it focuses more of our attention on the texture instead of the colors. Take a look at some of his other pictures, you just might be impressed. They’re not all of the Sydney Opera house, but many are just as stunning.
