Aviation Art

Master Outdoor and High Risk Photographer Jim Oltersdorf
Jim Oltersdorf, High Risk Photography. Holding a deep appreciation for the environment, and today as a pilot, he uses airplanes to reach even higher. Highly acclaimed as an aviation photographer/writer for the nation's largest pilot magazines, his photographs are regularly published in a literal "who's who" in magazines throughout the country. His brilliant photography of aviation, birds, mammals, Australia, landscapes and western scenes are breathtaking.

As a graduate of the College of Oceaneering with a certificate in air-mixed gas deep underwater diving, his well rounded talents also take him to the bottom of the ocean. If you appreciate fine photographic art of the natural world... you need to visit his website, and get to know this man Jim Oltersdorf... and his photographs. My absolute highest recommendation as being one of the premier photographers in North America today. (the editor)

Big Al's Aviation Art

Sometimes difficult to do, but he creates an overall composition that portrays movement and emotion. Allan Miranda has just been accepted into the American Society of Aviation Artists as an Artist Member (ASAA) A significant artist, and he also does commission work on aviation subjects.
