Project Thunderbird (2071 – 2085)
Developed by Ætheon (a high profile "private military company/"PMC"), Project Thunderbird was the first successful of instance of “jet trooper” (colloquially known as “jetters”) being deployed into combat. Using cybernetically enhanced pilots (most of which were former US Air Force and Marines), the company was able to find work in conflict zones all over the world.
All jet suits contained an exoskeleton, joy stick controls, and numerous intakes and jets that could be adjusted in real-time for maximum maneuverability. Jet suits varied wildly according the pilot’s rank and personal preferences. Though the suit’s weaponry varied between pilots, the most popular weapons were twin rapid-fire plasma cannons and two pairs of missile launchers.
The most famous Jetter was Ariel Vazquez. Joining the program in 2072 at the age of 25, she displayed immense prowess with the suit and made headlines for her heroics in the Long Beach Excursion (2073), in which [REDACTED] surfaced off the coast of Long Beach, California and attacked the water front. Were it not for the timely intervention of the “Jetters”, the [REDACTED] would’ve wreaked untold destruction on the city proper. Vazquez would also participate in the Battle of Bend (2079), in which the nation states of Cascadia and Greater Idaho fought for control of a newly-discovered (and incredibly valuable) lithium deposit on the outskirts of Bend, Oregon. Being a PMC, Ætheon sided with the highest bidder (in this case, Greater Idaho) and wreaked massive casualties on the Cascadian military with their superior airpower.
Though effective, Project Thunderbird’s heavy and unwieldly jet suits would ultimately be phased out as the technology improved became more compact. However, it would leave a lasting impact on military combat (even going into the intergalactic age centuries later), with similar technology being deployed by the Royal Cobalt Space Navy (RCSN) via their “Gunzerker” program.
This is a contact print of the first 8x10 sheet I ever exposed. I’m working on a portrait project of people in my hometown of Vista, CA. Bethany was my first participant, and we made some great images together. Shot on Ilford HP5+, developed in Xtol, printed on Ilford MG Fiber, and finished in selenium.
Day 81 of my project 365. A Wisconsin disaster in the making: Emerald Ash Borer…
Agrilus planipennis, commonly known as the emerald ash borer, is a green buprestid or jewel beetle native to northeastern Asia that feeds on ash species. Females lay eggs in bark crevices on ash trees, and larvae feed underneath the bark of ash trees to emerge as adults in one to two years. In its native range, it is typically found at low densities and does not cause significant damage to trees native to the area. Outside its native range, it is an invasive species and is highly destructive to ash trees native to northwest Europe and North America. Prior to being found in North America, very little was known about emerald ash borer in its native range; this has resulted in much of the research on its biology being focused in North America. Local governments in North America are attempting to control it by monitoring its spread, diversifying tree species, insecticides, and biological control.

The first unit of the Optara project is moved out of the ABES terminal where it was discharged towards the Total refinery. The move was delayed by one day because of stormy weather on 21 October.
The 140 ton unit was manufactured in Spain by Tecnicas Reunidas and loaded on board of the heavy lift vessel Anne-Sofie at the port of Taragonna.
It is part of a 1 billion investment by Total in the Antwerp refinery which is the second largest refinery in Europe. The “Optara” project, as it has been named by Total, will involve 5 ship loads that will be brought in over the ABES Terminal at the 5th Haven dock.
The unit is loaded on a Goldhofer 4 file unit self propelled modular Transporter (SPT) for the transport from the terminal to the Total plant.
Details Goldhofer SPT :
Length : loading deck 16,50m (+4,00m for the engine)
Width : 6,29m
Height : 1,175m(+/- 0,3m)
Carrying capacity : 61,4 ton per axle (x 8 axles)
Each axle had 55° steering
This is a continuation of the current project of an Image a day.
This will take a year to complete. It will be a "Colour Project"....numbered 731 to 1100 and it will begin on September 1st 2022..
I will also include an additional 4 Sets that will last a month each.
First will be Vines and Vineyards in November.2022.
Second is Forests ,,Water, ,Trees and Leaves in February 2023.

Forth will be another B&W . August 2023.
On top of all that every month will feature a small set of 4 pics with different themes.
As you can see I shall be a busy Bunny!.
Hope you like the stuff!!!!!!!.

In early 2002, in a justified act of revenge, I stole my friend Andrea Zink's bra. You know, that fleshy, beige-coloured bra all girls own for under white or sheer tops.
I began a campaign to photograph as many friends, acquaintances and even family in the bra. Then I sent the photos to people I knew around the globe with as a postcard template which they printed out and mailed back to Andrea, convincing her that her bra was on a walkabout around the world—torturing her from each locale.
Andrea hated it. One day, figuring I must've been the cause of all this, she marched into my office and threw a particular postcard (#002 to be precise) at my head and yelled "Make it stop!"
I did not.
After the Great Blue Heron flew off, I backtracked to see if I could find him but to no avail and suddenly I came across this beauty. Long-eared Owl looking at me. He did not waste much time with me and flew off but I did get a couple of more sightings of him but not great ones. When he flew, something else caught my eye, another owl!

Germany - Lubeck: Atmospheric Shot.
My efforts at an atmospheric shot! Houses along the Holstenstrasse. The spire belongs to St. Petri's Church.
Actually, the rains came down quite heavily in the morning and I had to hide my camera in my coat so it suffered from condensation on the outer filter! However, by mid-morning the weather was clearing up and there was then bright sunshine with an extremely strong wind coming off the Baltic Sea!
Just a few minutes after the end of 2016...happy new year celebration with my wife's family. Lovely moments...
It's a bit difficult to see it in the photo, but inside our champan glasses there are our wedding rings. This is a tradition with my wife's family, my mother in law says it gives us luck for the year to come.
I'm starting to love VSCO app to apply some filters to fast share a photo...

This building is just one of a large complex of buildings which were built in the 1930's as National Socialistic Political Educational Institution during the Third Reich period in Nazi Germany.
After the fall of the Third Reich it has been in use as a school, to house a Ministery and boarding school.

E voi bambini sudati
addormentati scalmanati
sul ponticello del canaletto
nero puzzolente con lo stecco
brandito per rimestare rospi schifosità
le punture d’ortica
e le parole magiche madide di sogni e sortilegi
e gli occhi belli masticando castagne,
voi
di età diverse generati, gemmati
appena partoriti nepioi
di piumaggio astratto
sproporzione divina antianantomica
in cerchio in fila in gruppo
per la strada che porta
all’arrembaggio dei tesori
alle pergole da vendemmiare,
smoccolanti petanti urinizzanti
nell’aria che si bea tra mani e piedi.
Pappe pappine merendine
delizie porcherie rimasticate
seduti sulla terra immensa
nei buchi della scuola
rapiti ipnotizzati dagli schermi
ributtati detestati
castigati venduti e poi tra i piedi
tra le scatole in silenzio
con il cuore che scoppia e cade in fondo
e più non trova il suo moto
mai per sempre mai più
bambini vecchi sulla sedia
per tremare,
vi faranno morire.
Voi bambini ricevuti
nel sonno sul fianco della luna
trafugati dall’angelo di fosforo
rifatti nel malsano liquame
voi bambini gridanti nel tuono beffardi
voi aria buona
voi voce d’uovo
luce straziante
diamante.
