F stop 6.3 Exposure time 1/800 sec ISO 100 Focal Length 300 mm U.S. Navy to the Rescue Ken, Here is this weeks thoughts. It was an exciting week! Photographic Thoughts Volume II February 18, 2013 Documentary Photographs

Life often presents us with unexpected and unplanned opportunities. You can start your week, with thoughts of going to the World Agricultural Exposition, in Tulare, California. I had dreams of photographing 2.6 million square feet of exhibit spaces of the world's largest agricultural exposition. I wanted to take in the new building that replaced one of the giant exhibit spaces of the old Pavilion C tent. To the non-farm community a 60,000 square foot, insulated, cement floor, steel building does not sound like a big deal, but in farm country it is. This exposition is a photographers dream; you can find farm machinery, sustainable soil fertility products, irrigation pipe, remote surveillance camera displays, asset trackers, Radio Frequency Identification Tags, silage processors, choppers, and robotics for the dairy! One day I want to go, and take in the opening ceremonies that includes an honor guard, national anthem, and of course a fly over of the Naval Air Station, Lemoore F-18 Hornet formation. The thought of that alone is enough to give me goose bumps, and thoughts of how to catch those magnificent machines in flight. Maybe next year I will be able to do all this. "Can you come up and photograph a search and rescue exercise?" It was a request from the Emergency Management Officer, Naval Air Station Lemoore. I would be doing documentary photography to record the exercise. The newly commissioned Search and Rescue Unit the Wranglers would be training, honing skills necessary to rescue downed Hornet pilots, civilian hikers, climbers, and natural disaster victims. Their job is to go into harm's way to save lives. I was thrilled at this assignment to say the least. I checked my camera batteries, camera kit and I headed for the rendezvous point. From my background and training I would fill a position in the Planning and Intelligence section of the Incident Command staff. Once on site I checked with the Safety Officer, lives of the air crew, simulators, exercise evaluators, and observers depended on this young officer. I followed his directions explicitly; I would stand and move where he directed me. As noted in the previous article on January 21st of 2013 I was so impressed by the exercise and all that was going on that at its end I had five hundred shots! I would like to thank Rainer Streib, and the Wranglers for this opportunity.
Thanks for listening. |
Photographic Thoughts Volume II February 11, 2013 Photographs and the City
By Paul Calkins © 2013 Bellaartandphoto.com
In my travels throughout the Central Valley, I am always charmed by the communities dotted along California's State Highway 99. Traveling down this road you see agriculture, history and the towns, of Merced, Chowchilla, Madera, Tulare, Tipton, Pixley, Earlimart, Delano, McFarland, and finally Bakersfield. All have a story to tell, and I have been lucky enough to take a few photographs of these storied places. One of the places, Fresno is right in the heart of this pastoral California setting. I have to admit, that I have beaucoup photographs of this place. Fresno is one of the "cities of the plain" as defined by Lewis Mumford's The City in History. Fresno and the smaller cities along Highway 99 and the railroads that pass through them are places of thriving agricultural abundance, which they transmit out to the greater world through these routes. Fresno is a little shy of dead center of the State, developed into a hub of commerce from its beginnings. All roads seem to lead to the place, and the people who showed up to the party found unbounded potential and made it thrive. Connie Thorn, one of my student photographers, and her husband Barry have deep ties to a very wonderful place in the world London, England. It is the place they once called home. Connies mentioned she had a photograph of the Millennium Dome, in London near the Canary Wharf on the Thames River. It instantly drew me in. I felt I was looking over her shoulder at this wondrous scene. The Canary Wharf is one of London's two major financial districts. This photograph also struck me as a very romantic. I could almost taste the classic English tea and fresh scones. I pass this along for all to enjoy.
I would like to thank Connie for sharing her photograph. Have a wonderful St. Valentine's Day. Thanks for listening. Millennium Dome London © 2012 Connie Thorn F 5.6 Exposure 1 sec ISO 100 Focal length 200 mm |
