From the top of the new Comiskey Park, Opening Day 1991. Ironically, Speedway Wrecking was a client of my father when he was with a public accounting firm.

I am most pleased to have a small section in the cabinet of curiosities at the Exploratorium's Tinkering Studio. There on display are various bits and pieces of my 2003 VLCKR (very low coast KAP rig) cradle designed during a sabbatical spent as Artist-in-Residence at the museum. To complement the cradle artifacts I assembled a set of images to run on an iPad in the display as a continuous slide show.
Here they are. Many predate my Flickr days while others appear elsewhere in my Flickr photostream.
My 'Wreck This Journal' as of 6 October 2012. I've had it for a couple of months now.
Taken with Canon EOS 60D.
I trained the dog to chew on the journal, and to fetch it when I throw it. Not easy - she resisted at first, she knows better than to chew on books!
366 Steps. That is the sign that greets you when you arrive at the carpark at Moonlight Head, not far from Laver's Hill. It is 366 steps down the hill which is not too much of a problem, it is the 366 on the way back up that is the killer, especially if you decided that it was a good idea to take every piece of camera equipment you own in a backpack and a heavy weight tripod....
This was shot a few weeks ago before easter and is really a must stop at place on the Great Ocean Road. The location is pretty accessible although you have to time it with the tides as you can get cut off from the steps (all 366 of them) when the tide is in. On this day, the tidal movement was minimal so I had all day to work with and decided to wait until late afternoon and a bit of cloud cover. The wind was absolutely howling from the west blowing sand up everywhere, changing lenses was out of the question so I had to run with what was on the camera.
When looking at how to compose the image, the rockpools made the most logical lead in line to the anchor but the wind was causing a shocking chop across the water so I used an NDX filter to slow it down and smooth out the rock pools. The wind was a real problem with the long exposure and I ended up shooting the same image around fifteen times (at 40 second exposures) to get one that was sharp. In post production, a lot of cyan was drawn out of the shot to compensate for the NDX and I did a bit of color enhancement and local contrast adjustments.
This is the wreck of the Norwegian ship Helvetia that was found wrecked upon the Rhossili beach, Gower in the 1880's.
Two different attempts at processing the same set of raw files of the Kaffir wreck shot from Newton-on-Ayr. This one was processed using Aurora HDR whilst the other effort here was produced using Adobe Lightroom.

Wreck Beach in Vancouver, British Columbia

415 stairs down (and back up again)
It was very warm and the shallow water gets warm enough for swimming.
My first swim in the ocean this year.
On 22nd December, 1894, the Norwegian ship, Abana was sailing from Liverpool to Florida but was caught up in a storm and mistook the then recently built Blackpool Tower for a lighthouse. The Abana was first seen off North Pier but by the time the lifeboat, which had to be towed by horse from Blackpool to Bispham, had been launched it had drifted to Little Bispham where it was wrecked. The crew of 17 all survived including the ships dog and were taken to the Red Lion public house in nearby Bispham where the Landlord ended up keeping the dog! The ship's bell still hangs in St Andrews Church in Cleveleys.

This photo of a wrecked train at Sintanni was taken by August "Gus" Firgau, 712th TROB (Transportation Railway Operating Battalion) during the summer of 1953. Gus was assigned to the Taekwangni rail station.
Taekwangni was located on the 3rd TMRS Sintanni Line. It was just south of town of Sintanni which can be viewed on the Google Earth Map: Chorwon Valley and Ch'at'an-ch'on Valley on page 4.
Cliché très intéressant car il montre un StuG III L/24 bénéficiant de plaques de blindage additionnelles peu communes, rivetées sur les flancs de la superstructure. A moins qu'il ait perdu le blindage additionnel de 5 mm qui court le long de ses flancs.
