Since 2nd world war, this place sheltered German and later French classical submarines as well as their construction. Thousands of people worked or lived there as soldiers or workers. I was one of them during summer time and still get in mind the very strange atmosphere of the submarine totally nuded of all the stuff inside for its regular maintenance, laying in the waterless dock above my head lighted by neons in the dust night. Today, this place is becoming a sea sail racing base and the Tabarly Academy will open doors soon.
Goodbye the iron shark.

Foundation for the pier. Seriously underestimated the pressure on the walls and barely avoided disaster by quickly reinforcing before everything fell apart. Close shave.

After breakfast at the hotel we departed Shegar / Xêgar / New Tingri, and after a few kilometres on the Friendship Highway we turned onto the gravel road that leads to Everest Base Camp (North).
We zig zagged our way ever higher, under a heavy layer of cloud which deprived us of any mountain views, even at the the Pang-la (5050m) / Mt Qomolangma View Point (and tourist souvenir stalls). That said, we did get to see many amazing rock formations and colours en route, as we wound our way through valleys and villages.
We stopped off at Tashi Dzom for an early lunch at the Cho Mo Lang Ma Ben Ba Guest-House Restaurant, and a while further on at another check point stop, we saw a parade of horse and carts, jogging and jingling their way towards us, crammed full of people - it looked like a celebration of some kind, rather than just a trip to market.
There were a few tantalising glimpses of blue sky and snowy peaks as we passed Rongbuk monastery, Carol and Tashi having decided that we'd be better off staying in the tent camp, a little further up the valley and only 2km from Everest Base Camp. Given Michael Palin's description of the night he spent at Rongbuk monastery, no one was complaining!
Tent accommodation obtained and toilets tested, we took the minibus (!) up to Everest Base Camp (5,150 metres) where the cloud had come down and it started to rain. EBC itself is denoted by a Chinese checkpoint, a small hill adorned with prayer flags, and China Mobile phone masts. Overall a rather disappointing experience!
Most of us opted to take the minibus back, and we settled into our two tents to relax, drink tea and warm up around the yak / sheep dung stoves... which is where my cold came on - slowly but surely, leaving me weak and light headed. I should have mentioned it to Tashi and Carol, but I thought it would pass and was more worried about how I'd keep warm overnight seeing as we'd not yet met up with our kit crew and so most of us didn't have a sleeping bag and would be reliant on the tents' quilts (which turned out to be super thermal and we all got too hot!).
After (mainly non alcoholic) pre dinner drinks and nibbles in the 'couples' tent, we dined on veg fried rice... definitely not top of my list of culinary experiences, but it filled a hole, and it's not as though the tent camp has an easy job getting supplies.
Then bed and fingers crossed that the skies would clear tomorrow to give us that longed for close up of Mt Qomolangma....

Sometimes I shoot on an 80mm lens to help viewers of my photographs feel the moments as I experienced them. Caches of micro-minutiae. Stolen moments amplified in real time with sounds, light and stored away in my mind.
Kanaval is many things.
A crash course of colonial history, ancient religion and modern culture.
Kanaval is hot, sweaty, overwhelming.
It is also beautiful, exciting and vibrant.
I hope you can experience it at least once.
Amazing.

Haiti has a unique traditional carnival, Rara, that is separate from the main pre-Lent Kanaval celebrations. Rara processions take place during the day and sometimes at night during Lent, then culminate in a week-long celebration that takes place at the end of Lent, during the Catholic 'Holy Week', which includes the Easter holiday. Rara has its roots in Haiti's an deyò areas, the rural areas around Port-au-Prince. It is based on peasant Easter celebration customs. Rara celebrations include parades with musicians playing drums, tin trumpets, bamboo horns called vaksens, and other instruments. Parades also include dancers and costumed characters such as Queens (called renns), Presidents, Colonels, and other representatives of a complex rara band hierarchy, similar to the krewe organization of New Orleans Mardi Gras bands.
Kanaval celebrations end on Mardi Gras, which is French for 'Fat Tuesday', also known as Shrove Tuesday. Mardi Gras is the Tuesday before the Roman Catholic holiday known as Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season, a somber period of fasting and penance that precedes Easter for Catholics.

U.S. Air Force basic military graduation and coining ceremony is held July 9, 2020, for the 324th Training Squadron at the Pfingston Reception Centeron on Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. Due to current world events, the graduation ceremonies will be closed to the public until further notice for safety and security of the newly accessioned Airmen and their family members due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
Based on a standard Polaroid 100 Automatic Land Camera, this camera has been extensively modified to be able to shoot at professional standards.
The original f8.8 lens and automatic shutter have been replaced with a 1950's, Zeiss Ikon 110mm, f4.5 Novonar, "Red V" edition lens, which is mounted in a Pronto size 0 shutter. The red "V" symbol on the lens means that it was made from Zeiss Ikon's highest quality glass and coatings. You can think of this lens as the Zeiss equivalent to the Canon L series of glass.
The shutter features full X-sync for flash, cable release socket, bulb mode and self timer, making it perfect for shooting in all scenarios. Best of all, the shutter has 10 aperture blades for a smooth circular aperture hole throughout the range. A Polaroid 180 and 195 in comparison only have 5 blades. This means smooth, circle-shaped bokeh-ball highlights instead of ugly pentagon-shaped ones.
The new 110mm lens is not only faster than the original lens, but also much sharper. The camera delivers sharpness and bokeh on par with a Polaroid 180. It features a beautifully shallow depth of field when wide open, with lovely bokeh. Coverage is 100% full frame, with no vignetting.
Features:
- Zeiss Ikon 110mm f4.5, "Red V" Novonar lens
- Pronto size 0 shutter, with bulb mode, cable release and X-sync for flash, range from 1/200th to bulb mode.
- Aperture range from f4.5 to f32
- fold-down Zeiss Ikon rangefinder/viewfinder with projected framelines and automatic parallax compensation
- Metal body
- Tripod socket
- Removable front cover
- Folding bellows design
- Neck strap
- Built in electronic countdown timer in the rear door (times how long your film needs to develop)
- Compatible with ALL Type 100 films, such as Fuji FP-100C and FP-3000B, as well as expired Polaroid brand films.
The 110mm, Zeiss lens has been re-calibrated and mounted to focus as optimal as possible with the original 114mm rangefinder. Sharp portraits on this camera are the number one priority, and that is where it excels. The close distances are 100% tack sharp, even when shot wide open at f4.5!
Any drift between finder and lens that occurs is minimal, and occurs only towards infinity distances, where would would usually stop down the aperture anyway (nobody wants to shoot a landscape picture wide open).
The front lens board was laboriously hand filed to shape to keep the camera looking original, and has been finished in a genuine black cowhide for added luxury.
Lastly, a German-made shutter release cable has been built into the body, to make it easy to fire the shutter.

O Complexo de Mocanguê se localiza em uma ilha dentro da Baía de Guanabara na cidade de Niterói, nele existem duas bases separadas pela ponte Rio-Níterói. A mais antiga é a Base Naval Almirante Castro e Silva, foi fundada em 06/05/1941, com o nome de Base da Flotilha de Submarinos, para apoiar os classe Perla adquiridos da Itália, hoje é a única base da MB que opera permanentemente com submarinos e seus navios de apoio. A segunda, é a Base Naval do Rio de Janeiro (a primeira foto é da BNRJ, após a primeira ampliação terminada em 1986), trata-se da principal base operacional da Marinha Brasileira e sede do comando da esquadra, ficam lotados nela quase todos os principais navios da esquadra, com exceção dos NAe's e do navio escola Brasil. O reparo naval na Ilha de Mocanguê é uma tradição que remonta ao início do século XX. Durante muitos anos suas facilidades de diques, armazéns, oficinas, etc., pertenceram ao LLOYD BRASILEIRO, passando para a EMPRESA DE REPAROS NAVAIS COSTEIRA S/A, e, em 1972, para a Marinha, por meio de uma permuta com a área do porto de Recife, uma vez que a Marinha havia desistido de construir ali mais uma base naval, sendo denominada em 1977, Estação Naval do Rio de Janeiro e, finalmente em 1986, Base Naval do Rio de Janeiro. Sua capacidade vem sendo progressivamente ampliada, conta com um Arsenal com dique seco capaz de docar, corvetas, fragatas e outros navios. Liberando o AMRJ para cuidar da construção naval e para a realização de grandes reformas.
