Up in the air with Brian Smith

Last month my wife Fazia and I caught a screening of Up in the Air, the new George Clooney film (opening Christmas day at a theater near you.) George plays a business traveler intent on grabbing every mile he can in hopes of his goal of 10 million mile status on American Airlines. Of course it goes without saying that casting Clooney is about the only possible way to make an air mile geek sexy…

Okay, okay, I know I’m no George Clooney, but I do have 3.5 million miles on American Airlines (a bit more than 14 trips to the moon) good enough to land lifetime Platinum status which really helps avoid all those long lines at the airport, but for some reason I keep narrowly missing Executive Platinum.

Read the rest here on Brian’s blog. It’s a great story with a cool photo essay.

Brian Smith is a celebrity photographer based out of Miami. He’s also one of the coolest dudes I’ve ever met in this business. You can see his work at Brian Smith dot Com.
