Red Bull Air Race San Diego

Red Bull Air Race was awesome. The pilots are among the best in the world. They're traveling at over 250 mph at 15 meters above the ground. Going to the show was a last minute decision . I figured that I could not get my own credentials unless I was with someone, like Getty or iconsportsmedia.com. So I did my research and located the tallest hotel on the bay over looking the course, knowing  it would provide me with the best vantage points. And it was!! The Manchester Hyatt  was a Great place to shoot from. I was level or above the planes and at some parts of the course it looked as if the planes were going to fly into the building in which I was standing. 
I want to thank Papa Doug, and Joe Jackson for there tremendous generosity at the hotel- I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it.

And please check out Getty's photos from the event. The photographer was one who I really admire and respect. His name is Donald miralle.
