What do I see through these keen eyes? Some first attempts at macro shooting. Subject was mostly cooperative with a big black "eye" inches from his face! :)

This U.S. Air Force Boeing VC-137C aircraft (civilian designation 707-320B) was the first jet made specifically for use by the President of the United States. Built in 1962, it served many presidents over three decades, carrying heads of state, diplomats and other dignitaries and officials on many historic journeys.
Popularly known as "SAM 26000" (Special Air Mission; tail number 26000), the aircraft has also been called "Air Force One" -- though this designation was used officially only when the president was aboard. During the 1950s, the call sign of the presidential aircraft was the prefix SAM followed by the aircraft's tail number, and the name "Air Force One" was later chosen to ensure there was no question as to where the president's aircraft was and whether the president was aboard. Because President Kennedy did not name his aircraft as had former presidents, the news media popularized the call sign "Air Force One" as this aircraft's name.
SAM 26000 Served Many Presidents
On Oct. 10, 1962, VC-137C number 26000 entered USAF service directly from the Boeing assembly line in Renton, Wash. President Kennedy had the aircraft painted in striking blue and white instead of the usual military colors to give it a distinctive look. The title "United States of America" was emblazoned on the fueselage and an American flag was painted on the tail. This aircraft carried eight presidents: Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Clinton.
In December 1972 another Boeing 707-320, aircraft 27000, became the primary presidential aircraft and 26000 became a back-up, flying vice presidents and other high-ranking government officials. In 1990 SAM 26000 left the presidential fleet, but it continued to fly government officials, including Secretary of State James Baker. Prior to the 1991 Gulf War, he went abroad in 26000 for talks with Iraqi leaders about removing their troops from Kuwait.
36 Years of Memorable Journeys
SAM 26000 flew President Kennedy to Berlin in 1963, where he declared to West Berliners, "Ich bin ein Berliner," assuring them of continuing United States support in the face of Communist threats and the construction of the Berlin Wall. Kennedy also flew aboard SAM 26000 to Dallas, Texas, where he was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963 -- and it was on this airplane that Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the new president. SAM 26000 then carried John F. Kennedy's body and President Johnson back to Washington, D.C. Johnson also used 26000 to visit U.S. troops in Vietnam during the Southeast Asia War.
Beginning in 1970, President Nixon's national security advisor, Dr. Henry Kissinger, used the aircraft for 13 trips to Paris, France, for secret meetings with the North Vietnamese. In February 1972 President Nixon flew aboard SAM 26000 on his historic "Journey for Peace" to the People's Republic of China (the first visit by an American president to China). In May 1972 SAM 26000 carried Nixon to the Soviet Union.
In October 1981 the aircraft flew Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and former Secretary of State Dr. Kissinger to the funeral of the slain Egyptian president Anwar Sadat. In March 1983 Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom flew on SAM 26000 during her trip to the United States when she visited the West Coast.
At a nationally televised event in May 1998, the USAF retired SAM 26000 at the museum. This aircraft provided 36 years of service and accumulated more than 13,000 flying hours.

I got curious of how flexible Sam really is and started playing with her. I haven't sueded her at all or done any other posing modifications at this point. Turns out she can hold her tail (after a few failed attempts and almost gotten slapped in the face a couple times)!
As a joke I put a cat doll on her, to make her into a catapult. Yes, the horrible pun was necessary.

Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova won this first round ladies' doubles match out on Court 8 against French Open finalist Sam Stosur and her partner Nadia Petrova.
King and Shvedova, playing only their third tournament together, went on to win the title, beating fellow non-seeds Elena Vesnina and Vera Zvonareva in the final.
They were the first unseeded team to win since Helen Gourlay Cawley and JoAnne Russell won in 1977, and only the sixth in Wimbledon history.
Hi, this is my 12 year old brother Sam. A little over 3 months ago Sam was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them being children. At this point in time there is no cure for type 1, but we are hoping to change that. So this year we are taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes, a fundraising event to raise money for a cure. In 2010 JDRF managed to raise 86.1 million dollars, all of which went to research for a cure. Let's hope we can make this year even better.
So please! Take the time to look at our team page for the walk and donate if you can, all money goes to JDRF.
Feel free to join our team, even if you cannot donate, or take part in the walk because you are in a different area you can still join virtually for support and help us spread the word!
If you do make a donation, please let me know, I would really like to be able to thank you personally :)

Sam's expression and the scarf around her head reminds me of Steve Curry's famous Afghan Girl photo. Of course, she was an American girl (raised on promises. She couldn't help thinkin' that there was a little more to life somewhere else. After all it was a great big world with lots of places to run to. Yeah, and if she had to die tryin', she had one little promise she was gonna keep. Oh yeah, all right. Take it easy baby. Make it last all night. She was an American girl).

I was planning to do an epic Holi powder battle photoshoot, so while visiting Sam Petty in Austin, TX, we decided to test out a bit of the Holi powder.
This was on the first day of her last year of college, and even though she scrubbed herself raw after the shoot, not all the color came out. So she had to walk into her first senior classes looking orange & purple.
