I don’t always jump at the idea of waking up early. But when I had an opportunity to hop in the passenger seat of a Cessna to take sunrise aerials around Rockford, I had trouble sleeping.
I had a whole list of places to photograph from above. The main shot needed to be an iconic shot of downtown Rockford.
Here are a few of my favorites from the morning.
