<p>So I lucked into a FREE flight on a brand spanking new private jet. A kick-ass Pilatus PC-12. Got to fly it down to GA for a few days of fun. Got a ton of cool shots out the window of a sunset over somewhere in the midwest.
</p><p>On that note: I have taken some awesome shots of things through smudged glass, hazy plastic or whatever. Everyone freaks (myself included) if their front element gets scratched, but it really doesn't matter right? I read somewhere that old Konica Minolta lenses were sold with almost raw, liquidy front elements. Kinda like how Dalbello boots have a big powerstrap on them even though with their (magical) boot design, its pretty much unnecessary.

Just an observation by non-photog nerd friends just don't seem to care about. Weird right?
