Overview
"In this project, I explore a typology of the varied cruciform shapes of jet aircraft flying precisely overhead, as if frozen in space. By decontextualizing these highly detailed photographs, I aim to express the complexity and beauty of form. "
- Jeffrey Milstein
A typological series of perfectly framed shots of aircraft just before landing. The work was published by Abrams as AirCraft the Jet as Art, in 2005.
