arly model original "Speedway Pacemarker" tether car powered by a Hornet .60 ignition engine. The Pacemaker was designed by Joe Olender of Indianapolis, IN. Joe wanted to introduce a semi-custom car for the racer who wanted to be competitive without having to build a light weight car from scratch. Joe commissioned The Standard Machine Works out of Indy to produce the car in 1947. To achieve light weight, the car featured a magnesium pan, a laminated Bakelite body and Bakelite rear wheel bearing covers. The Pacemaker came fully equipped with tail skid, tether brackets, coil with Bakelite mount, condenser, switch, fuel tank, bridle and battery strap. The two most unique features of the Pacemaker other than its light weight construction, are the "air-ram" special fuel tank and the extra long crankshaft for the Hornet and McCoy engines to accommodate the special flywheel and pinion gear. There were two versions of the Pacemaker, the early models have a brass bowed grille, later model featured a slotted sheet aluminum grille. There were 150 of the Speedway Pacemaker produced which does not make the car extremely rare but this particular car is a complete unmolested correct survivor. It appears the car has been run. Nothing has been clean up. Completely wired. Tires are still pliable. The hand painted numbers and graphics are starting to show ware. Overall length is 15 7/8", wheelbase is 10 3/8", track is 5 1/4". Pretty darn nice car for being around for 63 years.

I forgot I even had this video, I made it 2 years ago, on September 22, 2008 in Saratoga Springs, UT. Its a Time Lapse video of photos from a Canon 40D of the clouds moving. This was my first attempt at timelapse with a delayed shutter on a timer connected to a PC.

U.S. Navy divers and other personnel in a rigid hull Zodiac boat have attached tether lines to a test version of the Orion crew module during Underway Recovery Test 5 in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA's Ground Systems Development and Operations Program and the U.S. Navy are conducting a series of tests using the USS San Diego, various watercraft and equipment to practice for recovery of Orion on its return from deep space missions. The testing will allow the team to demonstrate and evaluate recovery processes, procedures, hardware and personnel in open waters. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, including an asteroid and NASA's Journey to Mars. It will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Orion is scheduled to launch on NASA's Space Launch System in late 2018. For more information, visit www.nasa.gov/orion. Photo credit: NASA/Bill White

Eagle Pass, TX - The Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) is low-level airborne ground surveillance system that uses aerostats (moored balloons) as radar platforms. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Air and Marine Operations use the TARS to provide persistent, long-range detection and monitoring (radar surveillance) capability for interdicting low-level air, maritime and surface smugglers and narcotics traffickers.

Mamiya RB67 Pro SD, Sekor 150mm f/4. One of my first shots with the RB67. This camera is huge! I think it's around 8lbs with my setup.
There are many aspects to creating a successful piece of work. It's not just the image, it's the text, the layout, the order, it all adds up to making something explode or fizzle. This is my first real foray into trying to put together a series, a story if you will, of this kind.
Ben Mcdonnell, who own Famous Policy, also races him. Originally I was going to come at this with a fashion bent, but after a couple minutes of shooting I realized the true story lay in the connection between these two animals. The best photos were caught when neither of them were paying any attention to me. In those moments, it was like I was peering in on a couples private conversation. The stories, the experiences, the hardships…experienced between these two… it was fun to try and capture.

The prototype for H&H engines was produced before WW II and was followed by a limited production in 1947 and 1948. In 1947 Arden introduced the glow plug seen here. With the introduction of glow plug, the high performance rotary valve engines, and the ease to convert older spark ignition engines into glow ignition, H&H production fell by the wayside. This model is fitted with ball bearings; it is not known how many of these tether car/ boat engines were produced out of an estimated 130 engines built.

Jeffersons back and singing away
From breakfast through to the end of the day.
Each cat has had his turn at making him stop
So far none have managed to reach the damned spot.
Please Jeffers, understand we've all reached the end
of our tethers and soon we will all choose to send
you back to you're breeder and now thats the end.

At the time I thought it was just weird to have a chimp (?) as a pet. Now I recognize it as a really BAD thing. This animal could still be alive. I wonder.
