After a very dangerous landing did manage to get the vip's at the new fuel transfer depot at SLSN ... they wanted to drink on today's hard work :) but wonder why they did take so long to get out of the helicopter :) where it is : maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sletta/77/21/32
Couldn't resist stopping to capture these "longhorns" made of old fuel tanks and milk tanks...good thing they're not real, their fence doesn't seem too trustworthy. HFF!

I'll admit, my motivation for posting images online has been pretty nil of late. Not that I have been minding much. I have long realized I photograph for myself and have often wondered just how much of a need I feel to share my images with a wider audience. I have suspected it is very little, but you never really know for sure... at least while you are actively engaged with posting images online. But for some reason or another (I have not bothered to analyze this habit much) I just haven't felt like posting anything anywhere. That certainly doesn't mean I have not been out making photos. I most certainly have, and I have my participation in the Portland Grid Project to thank for that. Last month's grid was not far from home at all, just out on Highway 30 between the Bikini Barista and the marijuana dispensary. It is a loud, relatively dirty stretch of road and a good half of the grid was more or less off limits due to all the gas and fuel storage sites out there. More than one member of our group was approached, and/or followed, by security while out photographing in the area. In fact, I made this image from the opposite side of Highway 30 during some really nice stormlight. Turns out another photographer in our group was in nearly the same spot on a different day and had a security guard hustle over to inform them they were not allowed to photograph there. Whatever. I don't really care to get mired in that argument. I both loved and hated this grid. What I disliked most was the noise. Walking along Hwy 30 is not calming or meditative at all. It is amazing how much noise we humans generate, and we are so inured to it we hardly notice just how loud we are. But we are and this was quite a spot to be reminded of it. On the other hand, this grid is home to Saltzman Road, which itself is kind of like a backdoor into Forest Park. I have long been curious about following Leif Erickson from the St. Johns Bridge to where it terminates in NW, which is at the end of Saltzman. I spent a couple of days walking the length of this road, up into the hills, finding and exploring footpaths I never knew existed, as well as some great views.
Another nice thing about the Grid Project is that with each grid being different, I am encouraged to change up my approach to them. For example, this was the first grid I photographed primarily in 35mm. I don't usually shoot 35mm, favoring my medium format cameras instead. So it was nice to break out of that routine, load up some B&W film that I did not have much experience with and see where I ended up. I ended up alongside a busy, loud highway with white fuel storage tanks dramatically highlighted like Ansel Adams' Moonrise over Hernandez. So there.

The vehicle in the background is a slightly modified original 1973 Matchbox truck with a custom bull bar and trailer. I got this toy car (a Ford LTS tanker from the Matchbox 'Super Kings' series) when I was a child; it was a gift from my beloved grandfather and it was the coolest truck I ever had ... and in some way it feels a bit like I'm perpetuate his memory within this photograph. So, once again, thank you very much, grandpa ... ;)

This still very flyable vintage F-86 was shot at night at the Chino Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, CA
A really great place to visit.
B-25 bombers could be loaded with extra internal fuel tanks for long-range missions.
B-25's were the aircraft used in Doolittle's raid on Tokyo and took off from the carrier Hornet. The mission was the first combat mission the US Navy and the US Air Force teamed up in a full-scale operation against the enemy. Also, Jimmy Doolittle and his Raiders were the first to fly land-based bombers from the deck of a carrier deck on a combat mission.

Pit stop.
It gives the impression that this 1942 Studebaker M16 truck which is carrying the number 71 is making a quick pit stop allowing just enough time to refuel, undergo a change of tyres and maybe, just maybe, clean the windscreen.
In reality though it is a permanent garden ornament in a rural setting but it certainly is an interesting ornament piece.
When the M16 1-12 & 2 ton trucks rolled off the production line it carried under the bonnet the newer and more powerful Commander 226 ci engine.
Built specifically for WW2 to government specifications a different nose and engine configuration was used in both the 4x6 & 6x6 models during the war years.
However in 1945 Studebaker were granted permission to enter the civilian market by being allowed to manufacture some M Series trucks.

Searching some disks from a while ago, for my files from the Nikon D800E found these. The D800E was my beloved camera and in May 2016 some bastard bitch trespassed into my house and stole my equipment, which included my Nikkor 70-200 2.8 and 24-70 f2.8 and some light triggers and other miscellaneous items. You never know when you will lose stuff, so better post online for posterity. That D800E had some commercial work I did for a client, the CF card was still in there. So had to borrow a friends camera and do the shoot again,lost money on this exercise :( I lost jobs because of this theft from my house. So coming back, this shot was made for a custom motorcycle company in my city back in 2014. I was initially not interested in posting my commercial work on flickr, but thought it could be useful to other photographers from around the around. Keeping the EXIF of all the pictures intact for technical study and personal review. Have fun.
