Learn To Fly

Flying Lessons, Shelburne, Vermont

I highly recommend freely wandering the grounds at Shelburne Airport. It’s the closest you’ll probably be able to get to any aircraft in this day and age. I was in and out of hangars, peeking into cockpits, and just generally nosing around and exploring without a hint of authority looming over me. I was respectful, of course for there is that constant fear that your being watched even if it seems no one is around, so I played by the rules. When I stumbled upon the flying lesson hut, I fell in love with the sign “Learn to Fly” because it doesn’t specifically state that interested parties will be instructed in aeronautics or general aircraft piloting. And who doesn’t want to learn how to fly?

Cross Processing

Within Photoshop, I manipulated each RGB channel in the Curves pane to reproduce a cross-processed effect. I love how it juices up the contrast and color saturation, maybe a little too much. Yum.
