The Blue Angels practicing for the upcoming air show in Vero Beach. I used to photograph them, and the Thunderbirds, from outside Andrews AFB every year. I'm always amazed. I have yet, though, to actually attend an airshow. Maybe next time.
In capturing this aerial formation, I wanted to transcend the mere documentation of a military display to create a pure graphic artwork. I chose black and white to strip the scene of any distraction and focus on the very essence of this moment: the perfect geometry created by these flying machines. My intention was to transform something technical and military into an almost abstract artistic composition. I waited for the precise moment when the contrails would draw these perfect parallel lines in the sky, creating a dialogue between military precision and visual poetry. The black and white conversion emphasizes the contrast between the white silhouettes of the aircraft and the dark sky, reinforcing the dramatic impact of the composition. Through this image, I wanted to demonstrate how discipline and precision can become a form of art.
7.62x63mm special precision rifle.
A long-range interdiction weapon developed by Barton Precision Industries, intended to supplement the Arctic Warfare line of sniper rifles then currently in service with many police forces stationed in New Haven.
Thanks to its lightweight precision parts, the Talon is extremely accurate at long ranges, yet very light despite its size. In addition, the 7.62x63mm rounds it chambers pack a heavy punch, allowing accurate operators to silence their targets with ease.
However, purchasing and maintaining this weapon is a whole different matter, as the proprietary parts required for this weapon are quite expensive.
Other features include ergo grips and a built-in bipod.

Tugs SD Independent and SD Bountiful putting the finishing touches to the berthing of Type 23 frigate HMS Portland (F79) in HMNB Portsmouth. She was ushered into the harbour and manoeuvred quickly and skilfully into her berth to enable rapid precautionary medical attention for a number of personnel following accidental chemical contamination of the drinking water purification system. According to the Royal Navy the next day, all those taken to hospital were expected to make a full recovery, with the majority already having been discharged.

The practise it takes to get these tricks perfect. I see these guys practising for hours at a time.

Installation of 7 steel cables for a new wood chips conveyor system. Each cable was about 700 meters long. Flying at extremely low altitude and in real "slow motion" above a large industrial site requires maximim precision. Only most experienced pilots will be permitted to such a job. This mission was completed in 4 hours, a conventional intallation on the ground would have taken several days.

In the summer of 1968 my family was returning from a vacation in Arizona, As was usual, we always found an excuse to travel close to a railhead. It's a warm late evening in the desert at the then open and working working El Garces Santa Fe station in Needles CA. We were up late to see the westbound San Francisco Chief make it's station stop here. My dad took this photo of the ATSF station clock. It has always amazed me how, back in those days, time was the most critical thing to be measured. My grandfather was a conductor for the Southern Pacific for 43 years and always carried a pocket watch with him that had to be inspected and certified by the railroad to be accurate to the second. This clock in Needles was no different, with it's notification that it is officially 2 seconds slow. Oh how times have changed.
First off, I would like to say that I am very behind with uploading photos, and it's only going to get worse as I start my new job in the next few weeks. But anyways, it's the middle of the night in Pewaukee,WI as CP 581 sits tied down with a now solo NS EMD SD80MAC, a recrew showed up at about 2300, took the second unit to eastwards to Rondout, and left the Mac here dead in the water. Even as of now, this train has yet to move an inch
An old information sign above a Victorian letter box on the wall at the Ham Gate entrance to Richmond Park in west London. And there’s nothing like precision in numbers, is there… not 1¾ miles, but 1 mile and 1,370 yards to Robin Hood Gate, or 38 yards longer if you travel via White Lodge.
White Lodge, by the way, is a Grade 1 Listed Georgian mansion which today is home to the Royal Ballet School for students between the ages of 11 and 16.
This is the heartbeat before the roar.
A young kicker locks in, body aligned, arms wide like wings in flight, as the rugby ball leaves the tee and slices through the air. There’s no hesitation in his form — just raw intent, laser focus, and that signature explosive release. It's a moment built on repetition, discipline, and instinct… and this frame captures it all.
The black and white edit strips the image down to its essence — no distractions, just form and emotion. It highlights contrast: the light on the player’s jersey against the soft falloff of the blurred background, the clean silhouette of the kicking leg slicing across the foreground, and the textures of torn grass trailing from his boot.
