Hounddogone

Work in News Television as ENG Camera Operator. Lived in United Kingdom for 25 years, now back in Australia. Love Cinema and Photography especially Aviation. Spent most of my time photographing at various Airports in U.K., especially London Heathrow.

Interests vary. Engineering, Architecture, Music, Geography, Astrophysics, Space Exploration, Science, especially Physics. Being a T.V. Cameraman decided to learn about light, like a Baker has an innate understanding of dough, or a Carpenter has an innate understanding of wood I wanted to have an innate understanding of light. Bought numerous books on the subject of light, read them, had my mind tripping ever since, on the underlying nature of light. See, Young's experiment, Heisenberg's (not to be confused with Walter White!) Uncertainty Principle, Schrodingers Cat, etc, etc. Love reading and learning.

Wanted to become a Pilot when younger, didn't have the grades. Got involved in Flight Simulation, with MSFS 2002, been hooked ever since. Soon realised after using Flight Sim that I could have become a pilot, one of the great regrets of my life, other regrets. . . still a work in progress! 

One of the best things I ever did was to finally book a one hour introductory flight at my home airport YBTL, flying a Cessna 172. Turning onto final approach to line up with runway 01, (just like in the simulator) was the biggest thrill in my life, only exceeded by my walking away from the landing!!!

Finally, jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, 199 times at Lake Elsinore.

P.S. Trivia time. Hounddogone or Hound Dog 1, is the name of Elvis Presley's Private Jet. Wasn't daring, or brave enough to use the name from his other jet aircraft in the fleet, a Convair christened, Lisa Marie, as my username on this website.
