Talk to any photographer and they will tell you their "unpublished work" is usually far better than their published work - it's mainly our bruised egos talking, though, wondering why some photographs never got the attention we think they deserve. Taken from 2011 until 2021, the images below show the final years of production of Boeing's iconic 747, in its final iteration, the Dash 8. None of these images ever got published, even though I pitched them all over the place, from The New York Times to aviation magazines to online galleries. Boeing doesn't often give this kind of access to their factory floors to outsiders and when they do, it's usually brief and well supervised, so navigating around the Everett plant while trying to get interesting images is a huge challenge.

I'm particularly proud of this work, especially since as a 6 year old I flew on the original Pan Am 747 Clipper from London to New York and the plane fascinated me from then on. Maybe one day these images will get published.
