“That design was not planned,” Amor said with a laugh. “Basically, I just practiced on a sheet of metal, my Gunny liked it, and he told me to do it on the aircraft.”

“Sgt. Amor actually created the entire design virtually from scratch,” said Gunnery Sgt. Noel Mallari, then the VMA-513 airframes division chief and a Riverside, Calif., native. “His interest in painting the aircraft was an enthusiastic and personal project for himself.”

So, picking up an airbrush kit for nearly the first time, Amor, who serves the squadron as an airframes mechanic, set out to work on the emblem that would eventually define the squadron’s image.

I’m looking for a relatively cheap starter’s dSLR camera, preferrably a kit with a lens. I know that most of my subjects will be stationary, and that I’ll look to make the most of the whole “blurry background” effect… which I think has something to do with depth of field, but again, I don’t really know. Also, any affordable lighting/studio solutions would be helpful, especially if they’re mobile.

The Nikon D40 is a great little camera, very easy to use and quite reasonably priced. It will get you in the Nikon family which is a great place to be. If you buy accessories and lenses, you will be able to use everything on any Nikon that you might upgrade to later on....
