Finally got a drone.
I’ve been obsessed with aerial views since flying with my family as a little kid. The advent of google earth in 2001 helped fuel my interest–satellite views on maps and apps are taken for granted now, but back between my freshman and sophomore years of college, it was revolutionary. I took my first flight in a Cessna to take photos back around 2004, which led to skydiving and helicopter rides starting in 2005…
So now I’ve got my own drone.
It’s a bit of an out-of-body like experience, knowing I’m grounded yet peering down on the world. I don’t know if anything can quite replace getting up in the sky yourself, seeing the ground below through your own eyes, whether to photograph or just marvel at…
But yeah, this is going to be fun.
