Nice aerials. I don’t see any of Adriel Heisey, Yves-Bertrand, Cameron Davidson or William Garnett’s work. They are the true masters of aerial imagery. Mr. Garnett (R.I.P) was an incredible photographer. Also, look at Marilyn Bridges work.

Why isn’t credit given under each photo to the photographer? I know each photo is linked, but that isn’t good enough. They deserve to have their work recognized as their work.
It’s only fair, you would want the same.
