Pictures of my time on work experience with Greater Manchester Police. Permission has bee asked for all pictures to be taken and I have ensured that no sensitive or operational information has been caught in the pictures!
This image is for a "Scavenger Hunt" set up for our Thunder Bay Group. Images must be "as shot" with only basic editing and straightening, and must portray the WORD!
this is the house of VORTEX. if you do not feel the MAGNETIC PULL, there is clearly something wrong with you. if you do not feel like HORKING when you walk inside, there is something magical about you.
Keith and I visited The Oregon Vortex and had a spooky good time.
Theories for what happens here include: a lens phenomenon that refracts and disturbs the light in a way that makes optical illusions, or Einstein thought: mass is compressed and decompressed much like a sponge in certain parts of the vortex. There's been no real scientific explanation for what seems to happen here.
For these photos Keith and I stood on this spot with two 7' poles on either ends of the planks. The poles are marked in inches and independently verified to be the same height (using another stick that is 7' long and compared against each one---it actually appears to grow and shrink on the ends, too). I set the camera on a nearby post and turned on the timer and took two photos, one with each of us on the each end. Then I simply cut the photos in half in PhotoShop and pasted them together (with no size adjustment) to make it more apparent that both Keith and I appear to change size. You can see the line where I spiced it, but the camera did not move between shots; Keith and I only switched places.
(There was also a level that was used in the group tour to show that the planks are indeed level at this spot.)
This cloud formation/vortex formed on the afternoon of February 16, 2011 over North Central Massachusetts. Taken from route 190N looking west at about 60mph.
A thicket of trees next to the road caught my eye. I believe this is a gully for water drainage next to an orchard close to Moorpark, CA.
this is not a factory color for the convertible. looking at it closely reveals that the window sills are black. interior is cream. this car works at my company (or rather, its owner does).
Sometimes, early in the morning, a vortex appears on my deck and I am able to gaze into a new and fantastic world of possibility.

Have been playing with CDs again today. This time working with the reflective qualities rather than the rainbow colours.
This is a view looking up the side of the Vortex by Richard Serra, a 67 foot tall 230 TON sculpture in The Modern museum in Fort Worth.
