Moving On

[jerslice]

I originally had a fairly long winded post (ask anyone who’s ever edited me, I love to overwrite) for today, but decided to trash it in favor of being short and sweet. Or at least short.

Today is my last day working for NYCAviation. Though it was a tough call, I made the decision earlier this month as I’ve been moving toward making photography a full time career.

It’s been an absolute privilege to work for NYCA over the past three years and help serve up some serious avgeek-based awesomeness. Between overseeing our correspondents, planning out coverage, and getting into the field myself it’s been nothing short of an awesome ride. I want to thank our staff team; Phil, Jason, and our beloved Matt for their support and of course for putting up with me…and all of you for at least pretending my articles were worth reading :wink:.


While I may be leaving the NYCA staff, I’m certainly not leaving this community. You all have felt like another family to me since I joined up in 2008. The support, encouragement, advice, and friendships I’ve received and made here have meant the world to me and will absolutely continue to.


I don’t yet know where this new phase of life will take me, but wherever and whatever it is, I look forward to sharing it with you all as it unfolds.


Blue Skies,
Jeremy

Happy endeavors in your new path, Jer! I've always been a huge fan of your photography and I have no doubt your career will be very productive. Keep sharing your shots with us!

[wunaladreamin]

Jeremy if there's anyone who can make this work as a career it is you. Good luck man!!!

[Cary]

Good luck, Jeremy!!

And could you please return my original paperwork I faxed to you?? :tongue:

[PhilDernerJr]

LMAO @ Cary.

Jeremy has been a huge part of our team for years, adn I can't say how excited for and proud of him that I am. His photography is truly top notch, far beyond aviation, and I look forward to seeing where it takes him.

As we've discussed, Jeremy, thank you for all of your work, and all of your heart. You've cared for NYCA like you were sitting next to me a decade ago to buy the domain name.

Cheers!

Jeremy, it has been a pleasure getting you see and read your work over the last few years. Your contributions to the site will certainly be missed. I don't know anyone that could step up and fill the void in your absence.

Best of luck in your endeavors! You'll definitely go far my friend.

[Jared Blech]

Good luck jeremy

[Ychocky]

As long as you keep taking stupendously good photos of beautiful aircraft we'll be happy :D

[lijk604]

Jeremy, all the best to you. You have the eye, and maybe more importantly, you have the will & drive to take your passion to a career.
Please keep posting, what you can, in the forums here. Believe it or not, your work does inspire others to look at things differently.

[MarkLawrence]

Best of luck in your new endeavors Jeremy!! I sure will miss your role here and thank you for the support the past few years!!!

[threeholerglory]

You don't even have a yellow tint on your pictures.

Good luck man!

[jerslice]

You don't even have a yellow tint on your pictures.

That's because a) I'm not Cary and b) we only ever see grey in Seattle.


And could you please return my original paperwork I faxed to you??

I swear if one more person seriously tries to convince me of that today I'm gonna lose it. I remember the first time someone tried to pull it on me...it actually hurt to try to wrap my head around it. Left me speechless. And let me tell you, as a case manager, there's little you say or do that results in that.

[Roush6NY]

Jeremy, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for NYCA. Wishing you nothing but the best on the next chapter for you. You are going to kick ASS !!!

[Zee71]

Jeremy ..... Thanks for all your contributions to NYCA, we are all thankful for your work and support! All the best to you as you move to your new endeavor. Don't be a stranger.

I'm going to miss the emails with a lead and a subject that only read "RUN RUN RUN!!"

See you sometime soon in Seattle, buddy!

That was the day the FAA approved the battery fix for the 787 IIRC :-)

I think that was the one I wrote while in Central Park

Best of luck with your new endeavors, Jeremy. You were one of the first spotters I knew of many years ago (I don't even remember how I came across you) and have always admaired your work both with aviation and elsewhere. Looking forward to still seeing you around these parts even if its in a less "official" capacity.

[megatop412]

Good luck to you sir, I've enjoyed your work here

[jerslice]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

[snydersnapshots]

Jeremy...I was just checking out your website. Fantastic work. You'll do very well. I just have a couple of questions...

1) The Boeing 747 on the production line. Did the Boeing company know you were taking pictures? They have a pretty strict NO PHOTO policy you know.

and
2) The Southwest winglet with the light streaks in the background. It sure looks like you were below 10,000 feet, where all "portable electronic devices" are supposed to be off. Isn't a digital camera electronic? Oh, wait, you were using a non-electronic film camera, right? :smile:

Seriously though... Excellent work. Best of luck to you! If you open a studio in Seattle tell us where it is. I do layovers there every now and then and I'd love to meet you and discuss aviation and photography.

They sure do, yup.

Looks can be deceptive, can't they? We'll probably never know how high we were.

Thanks!...and you I don't need to own a studio for you to stop by!...anytime you're in town look me up.

Best of luck, Jeremy. If you are doing event photography feel free to reach out as I have many helpful connections.
