About

I am Don Ramey Logan, also known on Wikimedia as WPPilot or just Don. I contribute original photography and motion-picture work to Wikimedia Commons, with particular emphasis on aerial and aviation photography, sailing and maritime subjects, Southern California, architecture, cultural sites and international travel.

My work is created from the air, on the water and at ground level. As a pilot and yachtsman as well as a photographer and filmmaker, I have had the opportunity to document subjects from perspectives that are often difficult to obtain.

A number of my photographs have been selected as Featured Pictures on Wikimedia Commons, and many of my films have been recognized as Featured Media and selected as Media of the Day on the Wikimedia Commons Main Page.

From the air

Aerial photography has been a central part of my work. My aviation background allows me to approach aerial imagery from both a photographer's and a pilot's perspective.
