Ultralight aerial photographer Chris Dahl-bredine says of his work, “To see this spectacular world form above — to soar like the birds — has been a dream of humans since the beginning of time. I have had this same dream since I was a child. My dream became a reality with my decision to learn to fly. I chose to fly something small and open so I could really see and experience my surroundings — an ultralight aircraft. What I see while up in the sky inspires me to document these beautiful sights through photography. Through these images I intend to convey the feeling of peace, the sense of wonder and awe that one feels while flying above the earth. This is what I experience from above.”

During the “24 Hours” project, he encountered technical difficulties with the ultralight and instead kept his feet on the ground.
