Tech Air Connections is increasingly involved with Maine aerial photography, therefore that is now the primary focus. There are many aspects to aerial photography that overlap with Tech Air’s previous mission, but now my emphasis will be on the technologies that produce good pictures from airborne platforms and good technologies to present those images.
My main emphasis now is to find clients who need aerial images, especially of Maine. I intend to use social media as much as possible, but I will also use other forms of advertising as well. Any ideas in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Wouldn’t you know, I soon as I say aerial photography will be my focus, I am hired for two technology jobs. Both jobs are very enjoyable, and I like to keep my hand in tech, so no complaints, but it is bit ironic that I find technology work after I say my focus is aerial photography. I wonder what would happen if I said my focus is solely technology.
Tech Air will continue to explore best practices in General Aviation (GA). These include methods for cutting the costs of GA while maintaining safety and convenience. This is difficult to accomplish due to the high costs of everything from airplanes, to fuel, to the myriad of rules, regulations and laws that must be obeyed. We will be more than happy to help a client sort out the pros and cons of GA for their organization. However, I will be spending most of my time improving the way Tech Air gathers its images and how those images are presented to clients.
I am a great believer in open source software, as a stable, cost effective way to deal with technology. However, I’m also a realist who knows that efficient process is hugely important for any organization. My bias is that efficient process trumps open source. So while I embrace Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP (LAMP) technologies for web site infrastructure, I like Apple and Adobe products for the actual processing of images. I also use some less known imaging software from smaller players, but they must fit into my process.
This site itself is based on open source software, combined with sweat equity (or whatever you call the work of tweaking the PHP, CSS, Javascript and MySql code) to customize it. I hope you like it. Feel free to let me know how to improve it.
