Space Shuttle Atlantis at the Kennedy Space Center

On display at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida, Space Shuttle Atlantis was the fourth space shuttle constructed. Its maiden flight took place in 1985 before it was retired in 2011 and went on permanent display in 2013. Not unlike seeing Space Shuttle Endeavour up close, it's pretty spellbinding to be in the same room as something that traveled more than 200 million km during its career. The multi-story angular display of Space Shuttle Atlantis also makes it one of the most dynamic NASA exhibits I've experienced.
 

1500 Miles, 3 States, and a Ford Mustang

For the last 10 days I've been fueling up on beer, cheese, and deep dish pizza on another incredible travel shoot, this time in the American Midwest. As always there was some general shooting happening all over the place, however a large part of this latest road trip experience was focused on capturing iconic scenes in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis.

I shared a few behind the scenes snaps on Instagram, but as is generally the case, it's really difficult to try and summarize the variety captured in the over 8K images that were shot for this project. It goes without saying that the upcoming photo sets will be stellar though.

From the top of Willis Tower in Chicago, Illinois to Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin to the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, the highlights of this travel shoot ranged from absurd to historical to downright iconic - a great combination! The new Mustang wasn't a bad way to get around either. Here's a little sneak peak at some of the new additions that will be popping up in the Middle America travel photography series very soon.

Country Bear Jamboree at Walt Disney World

What's not to love about kitschy animatronic bears in costume singing folksy songs on a stage? Here are a few visual highlights from the original Country Bear Jamboree at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World in Florida.
