A few weeks ago I shot for the American Banjo Museum’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony. It was held at the top the Devon Tower in Oklahoma City. This was my second time shooting this event.

The 52Frames challenge last week was Black and White. My love for black and white photography goes back to working the darkroom in high school. This is “Doc” one of only two B29’s that are still flying. #B29 #b29doc #b29superfortress #b29docsfriends #aviationphotography #boeing #airplane #tinkerafb #aviation #classicaircraft #planesofinstagram #planesofww2 #airshow #blackandwhite #bandw #52frames #52frames_blackandwhite #canon100400 #canon6dmarkii #canonusa #tinkerairshow2019 (at Tinker Air Force Base) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByZOAD4BMDT/?igshid=1zh9t12ui2p8

This was taken during a flag retirement ceremony. If you have never been to one, it is a very respectful, and reverent process. As we watch serval well used flags being retired these lyrics from the “Star Spangled Banner” repeated in my head; “Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?” This was my submission for this weeks 52Frames challenge “inspired by song lyric”. #starsandstripes #memorialdayweekend #flagretirement #lfcbsa #flag #fire #scouting #boyscoutsofamerica #retirement #lastfrontiercouncil #greatful #patriot #patriotism #honor #respect #thankyou #usa #usaflag #america #freedom #memorialday #memorialize #52frames #52frames_favoritesonglyric (at Edmond, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8RWFvhhnc/?igshid=12g2eslq5pyht

This is the First Christian Church in Oklahoma City from a little different view. It is in imminent danger of being demolished, if the City can’t get it labeled as “Landmark”. This is a very unique mid-century building that needs to be saved. If you have spent anytime in North OKC you have seen this landmark. I have a more of this building that I will be posting. #midcenturymodern #midcentury #midcenturymodernarchitecture #firstchristianchurchokc #1stchristianchurchokc #1950s #50s #50sdesign #midcenturymoderndesign #design #architecture #unique #church #uniquearchitecture #uncommon #52frames_uncommon #savetheegg #dome #church #okclandmark #visitokc #travelok #eggsofinstagram #architecturephotography #canonusa #canon6dmarkii #isthisagreatstateorwhat #okiemodsquad #modernism #domearchitecture #dome #domechurch #skylight #tower #spire #retro #retrocool https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXptbvBshv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2aqh6ad9tph4

Yep it’s pinewood derby season. This step is always the part that make me most nervous. That said never operate power tools while taking close up photographs. #cubscouts #boyscouts #derbycar #scouting #derbyrace #pinewoodderby #pinewoodderbycar #drill #drillpress #wood #motion #closeup #closeupphotography #action #builtforspeed #drillbit #drilling #tool #powertool #powertoolsarefun #doasisaynotasido #momentoftruth https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9d2x2Bpka/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9cc6dl4r3rup
