    About the Book

    Edit

    This book was made to use pictures taken over past decades with my Leica M2 and Nikon D-40 cameras in places around the world and in the United States. The unique GoPro camerea that can make pictures attached to people jumping out of airplanes, sky diving, SCUBA diving, bicycle riding, skiing, just about any place the need or challenge to Record moving action, attached to a helmet, or anywhere. So this is my playful look at photographs that would have been fun to make if such a camera existed when I started out as a professional News photographer in 1956. A bike rider since I was 6 years old; a skier since I was (late) 33; and a trained military jet fighter photographer since my first flights in Korea 1961, and a civilian flying aerial photojournalist from that date to 1984 dedicated to jet flight images over California..

    Jim W. Vestal
    Clayton, CA,

    I was a news photographer and picture editor for seven newspapers, and member of the National Press Photographers Assc. since 1956. A Life Member of the San Francisco Bay Area Press Photographers Association, after being the Picture Editor at The Sacramento (CA) Union (1968-89), New York Newsday (1989-94), and Contra Costa Times (1994-96) when I retired after 40-years in the newspaper business - starting as a shooter since 1956. I'm retired but still shoot and actively travel today for my own interest. The assorted blurb.com books have turned out to be a way to gather many of my images for nice and simple presentations.
