Steven Frischling, aka: Fish, is globe hopping professional photographer, airline emerging media consultant working with large global airlines and founder of The Travel Strategist. Fish has racked up more than 1,000,000 miles since he started to track his mileage in 2005.

Fish's travel tends to be less than leisurely, including flying from New York to Basrah, Iraq, for six hours; Hong Kong for eight hours, Kuwait City for two hours and traveling around the world in 3.5 days to shoot a series of photo assignments in 4 cities and 4 countries on 3 separate continents.

Fish grew up at the end of New York's JFK International Airport's Runway 4R/22L, which probably explains his enjoyment of watching planes, fly overhead. When not shooting photos or traveling Fish designs camera bags, hones is expertise on airline security and spends his time at home cheering for the Red Sox with his 3 kids 102 yards from the ocean.

1/1/2009 – Welcome To 2009!

The Ball‘ has dropped in Times Square, the confetti has been thrown and in bright lights ’2009′ has been displayed around the world.

While the New Year may begin elsewhere in the world hours before it begins in New York City, the world seems to tune in to watch the festivities every year and as someone who was born and raised in New York, I tend to think Times Square is somewhat akin to the center of the universe.

What does this New Year salutation have to do with travel, airlines, traveling as a photog, or any of the above?  Well, not much, except that watching the ball drop in Times Square reminded me the enjoyment I used to have walking through Times Square when British Airways displayed a massive scale model of the Concorde looming over the intersection of 7th Avenue and Broadway.

As we move forward and technology allows us to fly on massive jumbo-jets like the Airbus A380, I am left wondering when or if we’ll see the likes of the Concorde again in commercial aviation.

Welcome to 2009 and Happy New Year!

Below is a photo of the Concorde model as it was displayed in Times Square.

Happy Flying!
