I know this is simple but this represents my struggle to combine my love of art and science. It's so hard to pick a major in college. :(

"Child-Story Readers Second Reader" by Frank N. Freeman, Grace E. Storm, Eleanor M. Johnson and W.C. French. Illustrated by Vera Stone Norman. Copyright 1927-30 by Lyons and Carnahan of USA.
In my "glory days" I was pretty good at math. This was/is one of my all-time favorite books: Harry Van Trees' first volume on Detection, Estimation, and Modulation Theory. This is an old book: I wonder what book or books are used in the Universities now on this subject.
My kids don't really know that part of me.
It was perfectly simple op. Board the station, clear any resistance, set the engines to overload, and get the hell out of there. Expect light resistance, small arms and class 2 body armor. Textbook sabotage. Nothing we can't handle. I told the boys to stay frosty anyway, because those clowns in intel couldn't find their asses with both hands and an astrogation console.
I hate it when I'm right.
We cleared the airlock without any trouble, put down a couple of guards, and double timed it in the direction of the engineering deck. Sykes took point with Northup and Elridge close behind, and I brought up the rear looking for stragglers.
I don't know what Sykes was thinking. This is an intrasystem heavy lifter, so maybe he thought the hazard stripes were for cargo or equipment or something. Whatever the case, I was the only one out of four trained operatives to recognize the telltale signs of the security grid--a high-intensity molecular destabilizer. I was halfway through shouting a warning when it flared into life with a flash of crimson light from the emitters.
Northup and Elridge were lucky. At the sound of my voice their training kicked in, and they threw their center of gravity back. The grid flashed across their weapons--narrowly missing their hands--and began a chain reaction, both of them watching in horror as their weapons glowed cherry red and started evaporating.
Sykes was already passing the grid as it fired up, and it caught not only his SMG but his head and upper body as well. I suppose there are worse ways to go; he didn't even have time to scream as he began disintegrating from the top down, his forward momentum carrying the rest of his body into the grid.

Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim + Double Exposure Collaboration with slimmer_jimmer + Kodak Max/Gold 400 * Hybrid Redscale.
From Roll 4 of a double exposure collaboration with the very extremely patient (and talented) slimmer_jimmer - who had to hang around for many, many months before I had the time/was organised enough to send a completed roll to him.
I ran the film through the Vivitar around Bristol & Barcelona, then I took the film out of the camera, reversed it for redscale purposes, put it back in another canister and sent it to slimmer to shoot through as & when he saw fit. Neither of us had any idea about what the other had pointed the camera at (I had taken so long I couldn't remember even if I had wanted to!), neither did we 'line the film up' before starting, so there is even more randomness of frame edges & overlaps at play during some of the shots.
This wasn't as coherent as previous rolls had been, but there were a few successes that made it worthwhile...
Followed comments from park ranger to find them , Spotted roadside playing along with a pair of Rainbow Bee-eaters , photographed against the light shadow recovered during two minutes post processing.
