№ 05 — The Photographer
Bill "Pinch" PaisleyNFO, Ret.
A field archive shaped by flight, travel, and a lifetime behind the lens.
Bill "Pinch" Paisley's photographs come from a life spent watching the world from unusual angles. As a former Navy Flight Officer, he flew off carriers in the Mediterranean — not at the controls, but in the back seat of an F-14, running the radar, the navigation, and the looking. Especially the looking.
That career took him across the Atlantic and eventually to a quiet ridge in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Paisley Prints gathers the images from all of it — aviation, astrophotography, landscapes, wildlife, and the quiet moments that held still long enough to be preserved.
