The following seven photos were taken in Vancouver, specifically Chinatown and Gastown, on a very rainy Saturday with one of my photo groups. The theme was Street Photography, and this was the first time I had really done this except a bit at the Italian Festival, but I didn't know what the hell I was doing.
I enjoyed this genre, and look forward to doing more of it in the future.

After receiving their gear, the new operators wasted no time heading to the range to put their weapons and equipment to the test. The range had been set up by the more experienced operators, who were also on hand to assist the newcomers. This initial session was not just about familiarization but also about ensuring that every piece of gear met their high standards of performance and reliability. From testing the precision of their firearms to assessing the functionality of their tactical tools, the operators ensured that they were mission-ready.
For a Tier One operator, training isn’t just a requirement—it’s a way of life. The ability to execute missions with precision and adaptability comes from relentless practice and preparation. Consistent training, especially marksmanship, is the foundation of their effectiveness on the battlefield.

I don't know if I have the time to figure out if a vest with one sleeve is a vest or a jacket. I'm going with vest — that way it has something extra instead of a lack of something. So, this is a vest. It has one loooooong arm hole and one full, blocky kimono-ish sleeve. It's sculpted and asymmetric and odd, with a deep "blackhole" pocket inset into the longer hip.

Carousel Operator

Karl, a summer carousel operator at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks, Alaska. This was the first image in a short-lived attempt at photographing people with whom I had no previous contact. The subject was a retired employee of the local power company GVEA. I asked him for permission to take his portrait sitting just as I found him and took the image at a moment he wasn't expecting by using a cable release with the camera mounted on a low tripod.

Operator Chris McLean listens to the train dispatcher line as she works second trick at Washago, Ontario, Canada in October 1987.
Washago was the crossing of two Canadian National main lines and marked the beginning of dark territory on one line, so it was a fairly busy train order office.
This was my only first-hand experience with train orders; this time-honored system of train movement authority had been swept away in the States a few years earlier, and would not survive in Canada much longer after this photo was taken.
Stonier's like many a bus operator of the time were keen to take advantage of the then Government's 'New Bus Grant' scheme. At it's height, the deal was that Central Government funded half the purchase price of a new bus or coach subject as we'd say nowadays to terms and conditions. In a nutshell, the vehicle had to conform to certain standards,perhaps most noticeable of which was the wider entrance specification in the case of something 'coach' bodied giving rise to the term 'Grant Doors'. For their part, the operator had to undertake to use said vehicle for at least 50% of it's mileage on 'stage carriage' (local bus service) work.
W Stonier & Sons of Goldenhill acquired five coaches under these conditions, the first two being Bedford YRTs. LBF 248P seen descending Tunstall High Street was the first of three Leyland Leopards though the only Duple bodied one.
Long serving driver George 'Ducky' Hancock is the driver, his clippy is June Bala... neither of whom seem to have considered that their destination blind is incorrectly set which won't help their cause in the quest for passengers. An unfortunate side effect of using a coach on service at the time was that people not in the know would stand back and let it pass lest they end up in some far flung location rather than the town centre.

Mostly consoles and startup equipment for Control Data and Cray machines. Somewhere on the very left you might spot a Sun Ultra 5 workstation, which is the system service processor (SSP) for our E10k. The box on the shelf at the left side of the picture contains lots of documentation on microfiche for the Cyber 960. Of course, we also have a reader for this data format.
