Travis Jayner competes in the US short-track speedskating championships in Kearns, Utah, on Jan. 8, 2012.
Attack Nihon-Ichi is an event in Misato-machi (a little town south of me) where people do a timed race up the largest store staircase in Japan. The staircase itself is 3333 steps, and participants in the race can choose the amount of time they think that they'll complete the climb up and down. The person who finishes closest to their time wins.
Oh and you can wear costumes and such as you race up the stairs. It was really fun!
I did in in about 1 hour and 25 minutes.
A Still from my latest film Vintage Seance: a stop animated short film inspired by the spiritualism movement during and after the turn of the century.

Virginia Army National Guard Soldiers of the Leesburg -based Company C, 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team conduct a platoon attack blank fire exercise June 19, 2014, at Fort Pickett, Va. The exercise was part of the 10-day eXportable Combat Training Capability rotation designed to train and validate platoons on tasks that support offensive and defensive operations under daylight and hours of limited visibility. Units will concentrate on training selected mission essential tasks in a realistic field environment to refocus junior leaders on tactical field craft. The Army National Guard’s XCTC program provides an experience similar to a Combat Training Center to Guard Soldiers at a home station training center, minimizing cost and time away from home and jobs. XCTC is an instrumented field training exercise designed to certify unit proficiency in coordination with First Army. (Photo by Master Sgt. A.J. Coyne, Virginia Guard Public Affairs)
This is my aunt and she's ok; her eye will be fine (once the swelling goes down and she can see out of it again, at any rate). She was deliberately making a frownie face here.
I put the picture up as public and at the top of my stream to allow family who don't log in to flickr to get a look at it. We decided she needed a better story than slipping and falling on some ice, so we've started with a lobster - it makes the stitches seem MUCH more intriguing. She wanted to go with Harry Potter, but his scar was further up - however, we are in Iowa, and there are a bunch of political candidates out here for the Caucus, so some sort of battle with evil incarnate is still a possibility.
We're still working out the details - it's not really in her personality to tap on the tank at a grocery store, but she may very well have jumped in to rescue a lobster that was under assault by children in a grocery store or something like that.
Encountered this snake in the middle of the trail. Instead of sitting still as snakes usually do when faced with threat, the snake-dude decided he would take no shit from me.

This was by far the most difficult shot of the three. It was hard enough just to persuade Bob to run towards me. It was even harder to get him to do it from somewhere with an uncluttered background. On top of that trying to get sharp focus on his eyes at f2.8 seemed impossible. Just getting him in the frame at all was completely hit and miss especially since I was using the long end of my 70-200 (and f2.8) to throw the background out. I took maybe 100 shots which were all useless ... apart from this one fluke where the focus was bang on. Pity I didn't get all of his tail in!
Finally a shark that doesn't scare people! This poor shark is very upset: he tries to bite someone's finger, but the result are uncontrollable laughings! :D
The pattern is available! Check my blog :)
