Photography which I have been practicing since 1979 and focused on Aviation
Currently I uploads pictures, made of scanned slides to a variety of dedicated websites for on-line display. The websites to which I upload pictures on a regular basis are located in various countries. Websites are sorted by number of pictures accepted in their databases.
- the United States. Based at Las Vegas/Nevada, JetPhotos.net is by far the most important host of my pictures with not less than 2,057 at time of writing. Link to pictures : http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=...

- Germany is the home of many outstanding aircraft photographers together with PlanePictures.net and its growing database which hosts 692 of my uploads. Paradoxically it suffers from a lack of audiance, nethertheless I keep uploading there too.
