Another shot courtesy of Flickr user m20wc51, again from US Army SP4 Mueller, this time showing an M110 self-propelled howitzer crossing a river, presumably during the annual exercises between the South Korean armed forces and the US forces stationed on the peninsula. The exercises are, if memory serves, usually held in the spring, so this is either spring 1968 or spring 1969. Possibly confirming this, the fields in the background don't have anything poking up through the soil yet, even though they appear to have been ploughed. The MII0 was gradually replaced by the M109, and you can see a Korean version of that here.
The original shot can be found here, for purposes of comparison, and as you can see, the shot had, like others of Mueller's, faded and gone to purple a bit. I've tried to bring back the colour and contrast without having it go too far the other way, that is, to green.
Kegel exercises (Kegels) are exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the lower pelvic girdle, or pelvic floor—the pubococcygeal (PC) muscles. The PC muscles support the bladder, urethra, and urethral sphincter—the muscle group at the neck of the bladder that acts as a spigot for controlling urine flow into the urethra—and the vagina, uterus, and rectum.
'Nice' is a brand on the packet of nuts visible in the shot. 'Mother-and-child' hand-held self by George. From this position he can't get a level horizon, and he never does any editing - so I used the excuse to do a bit more than rotation: some exposure correction and some colour. Their skin was blue from the overcast sky and neither the hat, nor the snack packet were good for white-balance reference, so I did 'my' warming of colours for a more sunny feel. It's Miami, after all :)
This guy is standing on a 400Kv electricity transmission line, about 55 metres above the ground, a strong wind blowing ...
I met Heather a few years ago at a small group shoot. I had a chance to get off a few snaps before she was model-napped by some dastardly photographers. Time passed and Heather did a complete makeover; she really pushed herself in so many ways and voila, I had a chance to shoot with a beautiful, intelligent, fun, and classy young lady. We did this shoot at the Caldwell Train Depot on a lovely September evening. Part One of the shoot was a Daisy Duke theme and Heather nailed it. Part Two, the little black dress look will follow shortly.
Heather could shoot with anyone she wants but we're planning more shoots. I am so honored and flattered to be able to shoot with her.
I took these photos in September 2020 in Caldwell, Idaho.
