There are 2 Gallo wineries in California's Central Valley. The biggest one is in Livingston, and the other one is in Fresno, almost next to the airport.

Each winery was a seperate commission. The job in Fresno had to be photographed from a helicopter because of it's being so close to the airport.

See some of the pictures here.

I photographed the UC Merced construction site periodically from before the start of construction until the opening of the first phase of the project.

All the earlier shoots were from a fixed wing aircraft, but the last year (2005) I used a helicopter most of the time.
