The Work of J Thomas Duke Photography

New and improved-check out my much improved site with new navigation and much more to look at and even buy if you find a gem or 2.

I'm a full time professional pilot for United Airlines (now the largest in the world), and a part time professional photographer. I've been flying for about 27 years as a profession, with 15 years under my belt with the USAF/USAFR and over 14 years flying with the "Friendly Skies". I have been an avid photographer since I was a teenager, owning my first SLR (a Konica A3 Autoreflex) and even developing and enlarging B/W pictures.

Recently I decided I needed to have a second profession, and decided photography was a perfect fit for my busy schedule, since I could shoot architecture and landscapes on my layovers with United, and shoot portraits and weddings on the weekends on my days off. I switched to digital photography purchased a Nikon D300 and then a bit later a D700. When I moved to the Austin area I found house out in the country that I built a small portrait studio in.

Now this guy had a wild and short ride at the recent Bull Bash in Dripping Springs Texas!

Check out Amazon for an amazing array of photographic items including cameras, lenses, flashes and lighting, printers etc-you name it you can find it there!

Yes there are trees in Texas-even maples if you can believe it! This is a shot I took last fall when I drove through the Lost Maples State Park and saw this beautiful site.
