#Airplane window series
In 2009, I launched a series called ‘ Plane Views‘ to feature the photos I’ve taken from the air. They never fail to inspire! This inspiration is sufficient reason for me to book a window seat whenever possible. During my travels around the world, I’ve had the opportunity to see (and photograph) some of the most amazing plane window views.

As soon as the plane takes off, I’ll turn on the flight tracking on the entertainment system, put my headphones on and just gaze out the window. It’s one of my favourite things to do when I fly: watching the views that unfolds outside the plane window.
