Schwerer Ladungsträger Borgward B IV at the Deutsche Panzermuseum Munster.
During World War II, the Wehrmacht used three remotely operated demolition tanks: the light Goliath, the medium Springer and the heavy Borgward IV. The Borgward IV was the largest of the vehicles and the only one capable of releasing its explosives before detonating; the two smaller vehicles were destroyed when their explosive charges detonated.
Borgward originally developed the B IV as an ammunition carrier, but it was found unsuitable. It was also tested as a remote minesweeper, but was too vulnerable to mines and too expensive. During the Battle of France , German engineers from the 1st Panzer Division converted 10 Panzer I Ausf. B's into demolition and mine clearing vehicles, using them to place timed charges on bunkers or minefields without losing the vehicle. The Waffenamt found the idea valuable, and ordered the B IV's development as a remote-controlled demolition vehicle. The first vehicles were delivered in 1942.
The Borgward IV was much heavier than the Goliath, and carried a much larger payload. The Borgward IV was operated by radio and the Goliath was wire guided, due to the Borgward IV's much longer range a driver in the vehicle would bring it independently to its destination before dismounting and conducting it to its target by radio. When it reached the target, the vehicle would drop the charge and leave the danger area. This put Borgward IV operators in great danger. While the Borgward IV was armored, its armor was inadequate by 1942-43, and its larger size than the Goliath made it much easier to spot.

Robyn and I first connected on Model Mayhem. I still use that site sometimes but it has little value anymore (at least to me). Anyway, once Robyn and I started talking about a photo session, it took a while to pull it all together mostly because of unpredictable wook schedules. But it was defintely worth the effort.
Robyn loved this dance/blur/motion style image I always try to explore. I wish we could have shot again after tnis to be able to do more of this style.
Just like the controls i my like the up button sometimes work's the down/close button has a mind of its own and the stop button is pointless as it never works.
So this was our service workshop or one of them and the cause for the place shutting down due to a structurally unsafe floor that could have seen it ironically fall onto our accident repair centre below.
Those boots were killing me by the end of the day. i don't think it was a good idea doing the mile walk into town and back
Es ist eines der wenigen meiner Bilder, das von der spontanen Idee vor Ort bis zur fertigen Gestaltung bei eben jener ursprünglichen Idee geblieben ist. Fast langweilig.
Als Thema zu diesem Bild passt eigentlich ein Gedanke aus unserem Alltag gut. Oft sind unsere Entscheidungen das Resultat aus einer Vielzahl von Faktoren. Man tut gut daran, diese nicht voreilig aus den Augen zu verlieren.
It is one of the few pictures of mine that stayed true to the original idea, from the spontaneous thought on-site to the final composition. Almost boring.
As a theme for this picture, a thought from our daily life actually fits quite well. Often, our decisions are the result of a multitude of factors. One would do well not to lose sight of them too hastily.
C'est l'une des rares photos de moi qui soit restée fidèle à l'idée d'origine, de l'inspiration spontanée sur place jusqu'à la composition finale. Presque ennuyeux.
Comme thème pour cette image, une réflexion de notre vie quotidienne convient en fait assez bien. Souvent, nos décisions sont le résultat d'une multitude de facteurs. On ferait bien de ne pas les perdre de vue trop vite.

Termite damage to a home. The entire wall had to be ripped out and replaced.
Termite inspections should be done as often as 12months or less!

Excitement is rising in anticipation of the pending touchdown of NASA's InSight lander on Mars.
I was not successful finding the official control panel of this spacecraft online and was only able to find a decent facsimile for those who would like to assist the InSight Lander on it's descent. Instructions about how to operate the controls are unavailable except for those who are knowledgeable of steam locomotives, however.
This photo was taken by an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and SMC PENTAX 67 1:4 45mm lens and Hoya SMC Y[K2] 82mm filter using Kodak TX400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.

One of my earliest assignments during a career in electric utilities controls was as a project engineer for an Energy Management System that my employer was supplying to Tri=State Generation & Transmission in Colorado. I was there to check and correct some issues with custom steel dispatcher consoles that we supplied. The control system was still being programmed in the factory, but the consoles were in place, and some of Tri-State’s existing equipment was placed on the desktop areas for interim use in the new control center.
In today’s post-9/11 security environment, cameras in a control room are prohibited, but 1983 was a different time. Two examples of the technology of the time can be seen on the desktop – the big metal box is a CRT monitor, and the tractor-feed paper coming out of the box on the floor is going into an impact printer. The colors may not be accurate due to Kodachrome and artificial light, but I believe that they are the same as the locomotives of the Escalante Western, which served Tri-State’s Escalante Generating Station.
One other note – this trip provided the opportunity to shoot the final round trip of the Rio-Grande Zephyr.
i must always be in control.
The primary symptoms of Obssesive Compulsive Personality Disorder are a preoccupation with details, rules, lists, order, organization, and schedules; being very rigid and inflexible in their beliefs; showing perfectionism that interferes with completing a task; excessive focus on being productive with their time; being very conscientious; having inflexible morality, ethics, or values; hoarding items that may no longer have value; and a reluctance to trust a work assignment or task to someone else for fear that their standards will not be met.
Some people with OCPD, but not all of them, show an obsessive need for cleanliness. Those that do not show this tendency are sometimes good at setting up systems to maintain cleanliness, but may not follow through with the need to clean because of other "more important" priorities. For example, the need to get a good grade or finish a project at work might cause the OCPD person to have a quite messy and unorganized home. But if that same person was suddenly unemployed or finished with other activities, they could very well start becoming obsessed with cleanliness as other activities take up less time.
Completion of a task or problem by an OCPD individual can be affected when excessive time is used in getting such to be considered right. Personal and social relationships are often under serious strain because the OCPD individual insists on being in charge and the only one who knows what is right. Uncleanliness is seen by some OCPD individuals as a form of lack of perfection, as is untidiness. They may routinely spend considerable time using a precise manner, as for instance putting everything in precisely the right place in precisely the right manner.
