Photo Release: Exclusive New Series of Airplane Posters, Aviation Calendars and Pilot Gift Items Launched by AeronauticPictures.com
Unique collection of aviation posters, aircraft T-shirts and airplane gift items draw on the amazing air-to-air, aerial & airline photography of AeronauticPictures.com founder, photographer and filmmaker, Craig Schmitman.
Ventura County, CA (PRWEB) May 4, 2005 -- AeronauticPictures.com announces
the launch of an exclusive series of airplane posters, aviation art,
aeronautical gifts and aerospace calendars.
Illustrated by the fine art,
editorial and advertising photography of Craig Schmitman, founder of
AeronauticPictures.com, the new poster and calendar collection includes images
of the maiden flight of the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery, U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat
and F/A-18 Hornet aircraft launching from the deck of the aircraft carrier
U.S.S. Carl Vinson (CVN 70), air-to-air and cockpit photography of Boeing B-747
airliners, exclusive air-to-air images of a U.S. Air Force F-16 performing the
“Cobra” maneuver over Edwards Air Force Base, the U.S. Air Force C-17
Globemaster III, and the World War II legend P-38 Lightning fighter of the U.S.
Army Air Corps.
Also depicted are the Air Force F-22 Raptor and F-15
Eagle, the giant U.S. Marine Corps CH-53 E helicopter, in-flight cockpit shots
of jet fighter pilots, and from NASA sources, an Eagle Nebula poster as imaged
by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Schmitman’s extraordinary images have
never before been available to the public on this scale, with sales largely to
trade or industry clientele. He has achieved what is perhaps a singular
distinction in the history of powered flight by being the first (and perhaps the
only) photographer to have his work appear simultaneously on the covers of
Flight International and Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazines. This is
the aeronautical equivalent of work on the cover of both mainstream news weekly
magazines.

Future offerings will draw on the
30,000 image archive held by AeronauticPictures.com, including the rights
managed and royalty free stock photography collections located within the
AeronauticPictures.com website: http://www.AeronauticPictures.com/rfphotos/index.htm
The
posters, shirts, mugs and other gift items are illustrated by images that can
convey timely concepts like teamwork, high technology, national security,
patriotism, service, hope, potential, industry, risk, bravery, travel, energy,
globalization, speed and power.
“I’m very pleased to share these images
of subjects I’m passionate about and have enjoyed photographing for so many
years,” said Craig Schmitman, owner of Aeronautic Pictures. “Words can’t express
the excitement and sense of adventure I’ve experienced at sea on the deck of a
Nimitz Class aircraft carrier (USS Carl Vinson – CVN 70) or chasing a jumbo jet
across the Cascade Mountain range glowing with the warmth of a sunset.” He
added, “Hopefully these pictures can speak volumes about those beautiful and
wonderful moments.”
Products may be delivered throughout the United
States and internationally.
