President

Oracle Corporation

Safra A. Catz has served as a President since January 2004 and as a Director since October 2001. She served as Chief Financial Officer from November 2005 to September 2008, as Executive Vice President from November 1999 to January 2004, and as Senior Vice President from April 1999 to October 1999.

I generally don't like product placements in my photos, but in this case it was impossible to avoid. Anyway, Oracle makes database programs, and this thing is hardly a database. :)

I called it a thing because from this angle it looks more like a flying machine than a sailboat.

The hull (or hulls), are made out of carbon fiber. I could not find the weight of the hull alone, but the entire boat outfitted for racing weighed 17 tons (short tons; 34,000 lbs). This is extremely light for a boat that carries 13,000+ square feet of sail.

I like industrial stuff, and I like sailing, so I had a lot of fun shooting this event (that took a few days). I grew up racing sailboats (12' to 45' in length), so I can relate to the excitement of using the wind and water in a competition of design, wits and skill.

This one is my first test with the Yashica Mat 124G. I believe that they are not bad results. I have to try a minor range aperture.

This picture doesn't quite capture the craziness that was Oracle last Wednesday. The corridors between buildings created these huge wind tunnels. I almost blew over several times.
