Another invite by Craig O’Brien and I am back in Perris Valley California for two, four-day weekends of non-stop skydiving formation fun! I love being on-the-board for this event and with the people I get to jump with all day. And, despite what others might think, Skydiving event photography can be fun and profitable, thanks to the forward thinking and generosity of the one and only, Craig O’Brien.
This weekend is strictly the intro camp for the 100-ways. You never know what’s gonna happen. Over 130 registered and over half are all newcomers to big-way skydiving. By the end of next weekend all us photogs will be sharing the sky with each other, five otters and 100-WAYS! Loving it. Talk about mixing things up.
I get to share the sky with some awesome photographers as well. Check out these names. Know any of them?
And as you know from past posts on this event, the debrief system is bar-none the best in the world.
At present it is WINDY, so figured I would keep in touch with a post. Look over names of the photogs. Want to ask them a question? Fire away and I will get an interview for ya!
This weekend it’s finding our groove, checking out the other jumpers and especially the newer jumpers. We will also be single covering smaller groups this weekend as we move towards bigger and bigger groups, depending on the jumpers progress. Should be a fun ride.
Cycle through all the jumpers on 20-ways then form up together to film 100-ways, it’s a process for everyone.
Right now I have access to some of the world’s best in coaching and skydiving, so let’s hear it. I have just also found Norman Kent here working on super secret stuff. I might just get an interview with him, time permitting. What do you want to learn today?
