Pentagon Uses Phase One

The Pentagon 3D aerial mapping system using a Phase One back and Contax camera body. Granted, I’m not positive the Pentagon’s use of a particular brand should be automatically considered a ringing endorsement given that they once used frozen bats as a method of bomb delivery. However, it’s still neat to see our product on a system on which I’m sure millions of dollars and hundreds of hours were spent.

This year's pumpkins……

This year's pumpkins……

I had great expectations of carving 5 pumpkins last night, one for each member of the family. However, I sadly did not meet this seemingly simple, but foolishly lofty goal. Here are two that I did complete. One for my son and one for my wife. I will let you decide who’s pumpkin is who’s. : )

Brushing up on my dive skills

Vargo

It’s been over a year since I’ve been diving and I needed to refresh my dive skills. Luckily several of my friends are divers, so we went to an old rock quarry in White, Georgia. Quarries quarries are good for learning skills, but that is about all. They are cold and mirky, but are usually fresh water. Here is a picture of my dive buddy Bryan Vargo.
