Pictured at the tether gloomy looking Strumble Head while operating the last 404 Strumble Shuttle service of the day was Richards' Optare Solo M710SE YJ09 EXX (branded for the Poppit Rocket service, which no longer exists). Now the final coastal bus branded Solo left, with all others either scrapped or moved on to pastures new

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.

We went to the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival today in Foley, Al. I have never gone to one before, although I have seen them in flight when we visited San Diego. It was really nice. Had a great time

A lot of Fitbit users fret about losing their Fitbit, me included. My solution was to re-purpose the strap from another gadget and loop the other end through a belt loop.
Or to a yak.

Still life studies with the Hasselblad X2D-100C - most images are taken tethered using Phocus (3.7), exported as 16-bit TIFF files and focus stacked using HeliconFocus Pro and typically this takes 40-50 220 MB images, which become 500MC each when 16-bit TIFF -- so VAST files, but quickly done using a Mac Studio Ultra. Then deleted to save space. B&W versions are rendered using Silver Efex Pro.

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!

Aerostat seen from Ramsey Canyon, AZ
This surveillance blimp is one of eight aerostats deployed along the U.S. southern border. The other blimps are located in Texas, New Mexico, the Florida Keys, Puerto Rico, and Yuma, Arizona. The first site was built at High Rock, Grand Bahamas Island, in 1984. The second site was built at Fort Huachuca, Az, in 1986. About 25 to 30 people are employed at each of the eight aerostat sites.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered_Aerostat_Radar_System
The aerostats are large fabric envelopes filled with helium, and can rise up to an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,600 m) while tethered by a single cable. The largest lifts a 1000 kg payload to an operating altitude providing low-level, downward-looking radar coverage. The aerostat consists of four major parts or assemblies: the hull and fin, windscreen and radar platform, airborne power generator, and rigging and tether.
The hull of the aerostat contains two parts separated by a gas-tight fabric partition. The upper chamber is filled with helium and provides the aerostat's lifting capability. The lower chamber of the hull is a pressurized air compartment. The hull is constructed of a lightweight polyurethane-coated Tedlar fabric. An airborne engine drives the generator, supplied by a 100-gallon diesel fuel tank.
The aerostats have proven to be a fair weather friend. They must be brought to ground in high winds.
TARS surveillance data is used by Customs and Border Protection and by the Joint Interagency Task Force-South in support of border security and counter-drug operations.
According to one study in 2012, the aerostat at Fort Huachuca helped Border Patrol agents make almost 100 arrests in Arizona.
Using radar they continuously scan the area along the border, looking for low-flying aircraft drug smugglers use to bring drugs into the United States. The sensors on board can detect activity in distances of up to 230 miles.
TARS has been operated by the U.S. Air Force, but the Department of Homeland Security picked up the project and its funding for fiscal year 2014.

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.
