arly model original "Speedway Pacemarker" tether car powered by a Hornet .60 ignition engine. The Pacemaker was designed by Joe Olender of Indianapolis, IN. Joe wanted to introduce a semi-custom car for the racer who wanted to be competitive without having to build a light weight car from scratch. Joe commissioned The Standard Machine Works out of Indy to produce the car in 1947. To achieve light weight, the car featured a magnesium pan, a laminated Bakelite body and Bakelite rear wheel bearing covers. The Pacemaker came fully equipped with tail skid, tether brackets, coil with Bakelite mount, condenser, switch, fuel tank, bridle and battery strap. The two most unique features of the Pacemaker other than its light weight construction, are the "air-ram" special fuel tank and the extra long crankshaft for the Hornet and McCoy engines to accommodate the special flywheel and pinion gear. There were two versions of the Pacemaker, the early models have a brass bowed grille, later model featured a slotted sheet aluminum grille. There were 150 of the Speedway Pacemaker produced which does not make the car extremely rare but this particular car is a complete unmolested correct survivor. It appears the car has been run. Nothing has been clean up. Completely wired. Tires are still pliable. The hand painted numbers and graphics are starting to show ware. Overall length is 15 7/8", wheelbase is 10 3/8", track is 5 1/4". Pretty darn nice car for being around for 63 years.

Sorry that I haven't posted anything new, or returned any comments for a while. I have been busy with work, training/racing and other stuff, but that hasn't stopped my passion for what I love the most......photography. I will be spending the next few weeks playing catch up, so please bear with me.
This self portrait was taken back in November 2008 after I decided to use up some face paint that I had originally purchased for someone else's photo shoot. You get some great skin textures using face paint, especially whilst frowning, which comes natural for me!
Technique : Two bare strobes fired at a white back drop. A 430Ex flash gun positioned on the left hand side of the subject fired into a silver umbrella, half power. A 580Ex flash gun positioned at the right hand side of the subject fired through a white umbrella, full power. Camera set to 1/60sec, f11, iso100.....this was tethered to a laptop and controlled via a mouse.
The bathroom was a complete mess afterwards as you can guess!!!

G-BLKU Colt Flame Special Shape Balloon. Veteran balloon first registered in 1984 during the British Gas privatisation campaign. Grounded since 1992 but still occasionally inflated at festivals. Ashton Court - Bristol Balloon Festival Aug 2015.

The tether line is attached first so the balloon can’t escape; then the balloon is inflated with helium gas.
A helium-filled balloon is used to lift a still-photo camera to an altitude of approximately 300 feet. The balloon is tethered, and an operator on the ground walks the balloon across shallow seagrass beds or uses a slow-moving boat in deeper water to photograph seagrass beds and bay bottom habitats. The technique is not limited to seagrass beds and is useful in any habitat in estuaries, lakes or on land where fine-scale imagery is needed. Because the balloon is tethered, however, it is not useful in forested areas!

Not just fit and finish, Pango make a second blower tube and hide it if not use. We make the two tubes on different of the bouncer so that could fit the power location. Looking down the road you will find you need a second inflation tube. We want to make sure clients could use the bouncer convenient.
Stronger Baffles
Baffles that are secured by a 840 denier material that provides the MAXIMUM strength of the internal baffling of every inflatables. This material upgrade is unmatched by anyone else in the industry. This material is key to the overall durability of the products we sell.
D Ring Expose
Take a close look at the construction of the "d" rings in the products we sell. A tether system is only as strong as its weakest link. Tether points on the inflatable are extremely durable. The "d" ring tethering System have been laboratory-tested and certified by Professional Engineers for use on all giant slides and all other types of inflatables.
Vinyl（PVCTarpaulin） Expose
At Pango Inflatable, the only products we sell are constructed from the finest coated vinyl. Unlike other vinyl producers, the Coated Vinyl are Lead-Free in addition to meeting the EN71 test by SGS. Lead-Free vinyl are a standard that has been that way since day one. Exposure to lead is dangerous to children. The products Pango Inflatable sell are safe from the effects of lead. As for durability, the materials are a weft inserted substrate, which makes any possible rips virtually impossible.
No Wax Surfaces
We provide removable sliding surfaces for every slides we made, While other only provide the normal vinyl, Inflatable vinyl is not naturally slippery, therefore, waxing has become a normal preparation for getting a slide ready for use. The removable sliding surface found the on the products we sell is a high polished urethane coating, which in turn reduces the need to wax.
Zipper with Flaps
Unlike others, Pango Inflatable sells products that are easy to use. For example, the deflation zipper utilizes a Velcro flap that covers the zipper, thus, less air is lost and zippers are not exposed to abrasion or mischief.
Blower Tube Strap
While most manufacturers tie their blower inflation tubes to the blower system, however, the products Pango Inflatable sells, utilizes a universal sleeve with a cinching Velcro strap. One- handed operation keeps the tube securely attached to the blower system.
Liquid Laminator
DWe do the Digital Printing in our factory, unlike most factory here in China, they do the printing outside and could not control the delivery time and the quality. igitally printed graphics are one thing, keeping those beautiful images durable as well scratch and fade resistant is quite another. Every digital image used within an inflatable sold by Pango Inflatable is clear-coated with a special liquid laminate that is vulcanized to the vinyl surface.
Finger-Safe Netting
Most bouncer manufacturers use 1" or 2" netting. A child bouncing can easily catch their fingers in that size of netting, thus serious injuries can happen. Only the Pango Inflatable could provide netting that even a small child's finger cannot penetrate. Yet, the netting is still transparent enough to allow for easy viewing.
Removable Covers
Virtually every area that your customers step, slide or climb upon is on a replaceable & easily removable vinyl cover. From climbing stairs, to entrance tunnel sleeves to sliding surfaces, Pango Inflatable only sells products that are designed for high-volume traffic.
Safety Door on Bouncers
Worried about children possibly falling out of a bouncer? Don't be. We got 3 points of reinforcement on the entrance of the bouncer which make the entrance very strong. Also we add the step outside the entrance following the AU and USA standards of jumping castle.
On-Staff Engineering and Designing
We do reinforce stitching at the fixion of D-ring. Four stitching line will share the tension of the bouncer. This made the D-ring last much longer and stronger. Other factory use other design of the fixion, but will not good for the tension sharing. Could find the differnce in the attached photos.
Cushion Designs
We do cushion between the wall and the base. When the kids bounce on the bouncer this parts bear most of the pressure, so this new design will make this parts much more strong and safety, while other factory only stitch to the base.

U.S. Navy divers and other personnel in a rigid hull Zodiac boat have attached tether lines to a test version of the Orion crew module during Underway Recovery Test 5 in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA's Ground Systems Development and Operations Program and the U.S. Navy are conducting a series of tests using the USS San Diego, various watercraft and equipment to practice for recovery of Orion on its return from deep space missions. The testing will allow the team to demonstrate and evaluate recovery processes, procedures, hardware and personnel in open waters. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, including an asteroid and NASA's Journey to Mars. It will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Orion is scheduled to launch on NASA's Space Launch System in late 2018. For more information, visit www.nasa.gov/orion. Photo credit: NASA/Bill White

I've been practing my negative copying on some of my old images.
Not sure what this was shot on, possibly an Olympus XA or Canonet 28 35mm rangefinder, as most of my film SLR gear went in the early 80s. I just liked the framing of this shot. Nice to find some properly stored negatives that needed virtually no spot removal!
Taken from the Hernhill side of Boughton Hill (Kent).
That'll be Herne Bay or Whitstable in the distance and the ocean beyond (double-click to zoom in).
My current method is:
Canon EOS R
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro L (adapted)
Camera tethered (USB) and PC-controlled with standard Canon software
Lomography Digitaliza negative holder
Cheap LED light-table from Amazon.
Processed using Negative Lab Pro as a Lightroom plugin
Note: The 100mm macro lens, when attached firmly to the stand, vibrates visibly when you zoom in to focus on a large PC screen, so remember to turn the IS OFF! It's not visible at the standard size viewing but it certainly is at 5X.

There are many aspects to creating a successful piece of work. It's not just the image, it's the text, the layout, the order, it all adds up to making something explode or fizzle. This is my first real foray into trying to put together a series, a story if you will, of this kind.
Ben Mcdonnell, who own Famous Policy, also races him. Originally I was going to come at this with a fashion bent, but after a couple minutes of shooting I realized the true story lay in the connection between these two animals. The best photos were caught when neither of them were paying any attention to me. In those moments, it was like I was peering in on a couples private conversation. The stories, the experiences, the hardships…experienced between these two… it was fun to try and capture.

The prototype for H&H engines was produced before WW II and was followed by a limited production in 1947 and 1948. In 1947 Arden introduced the glow plug seen here. With the introduction of glow plug, the high performance rotary valve engines, and the ease to convert older spark ignition engines into glow ignition, H&H production fell by the wayside. This model is fitted with ball bearings; it is not known how many of these tether car/ boat engines were produced out of an estimated 130 engines built.
