On the ground

Some studies of a Cobra Paraviper who just landed.

 

I had just finished shooting the snipers when my son Paulo started egging me to take picture of his Paraviper (he got it for Christmas). So we looked for an open spot in the park, someplace ideal for a DZ. It would’ve been better if I had a parachute and paracords for the paraviper, but well, we have to make do with what we have. So in this scene, the paraviper is assumed to have already shucked off his para gear and is getting ready to move out. I like how it turned out. I love the paraviper’s details: the balaclava, the MP5, the wrist altimeter, the oxygen tubes. Hhmm…I’m thinking of army-building this unit!

Viper Raid

These photos were taken almost a year ago. I had just watched a DVD copy of the film, “The Kingdom” and I was inspired by the cover jacket depicting Jamie Foxx and his team as they prepare to chase terrorists in an apartment complex.
