Out of nowhere, Eric shows up to Skydive New England. A well known Tattoo artist in the Boston area, Eric brings all the tools to go. It was perfect timing. The weather had absolutely socked us in for over a week. What amazed me most was not of his skill, talent or artistry, but the sheer amount of people who lined up to have very BIG pieces done. Eric worked non-stop for over eight hours a pop. Some pieces took three days or longer to complete. Check out this owl tattoo he did. Amazing.

Skydiving Portraiture Team Four Play and Skydive New England
On location studio lighting is simply amazing. On my quest and project for some serious skydiving portraiture I pulled a new four way team out from the beer line for some quick shots at Skydive New England. They are training for The Skydiving U.S. Nationals competition in August and what better way to support them but with some great photos, right?
