Read about the project here:
Mr. Pingstone built his own lathe and milling machine to produce this engine.
The engine measures 10 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 5 inches long including the flywheel. With a bore of 32mm and a stroke of 37mm this 29.75cc (1.8 cu in) engine burns gasoline on spark ignition. It utilizes a pressurized dry-sump lubrication system, a pressurized fuel system, and Mr. Pingstone’s custom designed gear-driven over head cam. He fabricated all of the parts including the castings for the crankcase and gear box and machined everything else from bar stock. The head (as well as the cylinder) is machined from solid cast iron with 3/4 inch ports and manganese valves measuring 7/8 inch in diameter. The valves are set at 45 degrees, each captured by two springs and retained with split collets.
Then the engine was sent to Edgar T. Westbury in 1933 for his analysis and comments which were later published in The Model Engineer and Practical Electrician in March of 1934. After the engine was returned to Mr. Pingstone he made several modifications to the cylinder and head, and fabricated a new carburetor before mounting it into his tether boat. Housed within the boat is the split fuel/oil tank each with its respective inline filter, as well as a pull starter and an electric switch to turn off the ignition.

I was sitting at home, feeling pretty miserable with a head cold when I get a call from my good friend and fellow light painter, Anton Veugan. He asks me if I'd be interested in coming out to the airport to photograph the appliances online airship that is in town. Well, no question really, an extremely rare opportunity like this is not something you say no to. I had about half an hour to grab my gear and meet up before heading to the airport. The blimp is tethered at the nose and swings freely in the breeze. This means that is rarely stationary for long, as the slightest change in breeze causes it to move. We took a lot of shots but many are on the digital darkroom floor due to the blimp moving through the shot. We tried a few different light painting techniques but, due to trying to keep the exposures to a minimum and the fact that the internal light of the blimp becomes quite strong with long exposures, we were limited in what would be effective. Luckily, I brought along my Pixelstick, which worked well with its size and brightness control. We didn't spend a lot of time there as I would have liked to try a few other things and definitely, if I had some more time to prepare, I could have come up with some other light tools that would have worked better in this situation. And, thanks to the ground crew, who were really cool about us taking photos of the blimp :)
Sujal leaves the safety of line and goes rogue. He reaches the end of his tether.

Read about the project here:
This brightly-colored kite was being flown above a nearly-deserted Atlantic Ocean beach above Duck, North Carolina, last April, its exploration of the gloriously blue sky restricted by the flyer's string.
With one of the cheapest data in the world, it is not surprising to see everyone glued to their phone.
This is a structure on the beach at Dungeness, that was used as a navigational aid to shipping in days gone by before the advent of GPS.
Day 39: Inspiration from several sources on this one...I've seen a few "bondage" photos running around and decided I wanted to try one myself. I'm also having an angry day....very angry....at everyone and everything. I get that way sometimes. No one has to really do anything in particular to set me off...it just happens. I happen to know what set me off this time, but it's my problem, not really anyone else's. I take things too personally, I get myself in too deep, and I get hurt. So, I do my best to gag it all back and bury it deep so at least I'm the only one who knows I'm hurt. Makes things difficult at times...and it's really no way to live, but it's the way I know how to at the moment.
Anyway, if you'd like to see a couple more 365 "bondage" shots, check out sadandbeautiful (Sarah) and Sick Little Monkey They both have some great shots.
after years of only shooting with natural light, I started experimenting with artificial light at home.

Laura and I went out Friday night to shoot during sunset. I have to admit that I had never done it and am instantly in love. The light is just amazing and soft. I wanted to shoot something very quickly of Laura before we got the hell outta dodge. Being in the woods of a park in the Bronx after dusk is NOT a good idea. When I saw the beautiful colors of the sun as it set I just had Laura stand there and strike a pose so to speak :-D
It really looks like fire...
Talking about Fire, when we got to the park there was a smoke and the smell of fire. Apparently, there was a fire in the woods and there were fire trucks and firemen all over. So to me, this is the perfect title. Thanks again Laura :)
