Moving Pictures

This was an event and rare opportunity I was very privileged to attend. Through my very good friends, the South Florida Pirates I was allowed to bring along my camera and capture a special day for children in need. The Vital Flight group is an all volunteer organization dedicated to providing medical or humanitarian services where ever they are needed. This event was about flying the children on a short excursion to get them used to the planes in preparation for when this service is needed.  I was not able to stay long enough to take a flight of my own but it was great to see the kids and their families out for the day. The highlight for most, including me was interacting with the South Florida Pirates. They live for these types of events and bring a lot of joy to these kids. For more photos   [click here]

In the year that I have been a camp follower of the South Florida Pirates, I have enjoyed some very special moments. The few events I missed I have regretted. Even so I was not sure what was in store for me. This was a more solemn and reserved event than I'm used to where families with special needs children can interact with vendors who provide special needs services. I have several photos from the event so please [click here] if you are interested. I attended to simply capture my pirate friends ...
