Until next time, I leave you in peace.

This guy is in charge of making sure no one gets in the path of incoming planes during landing operations aboard ship. Fun!

These are spent .50 cal. shells from a live fire exercise I shot back in my navy days. Basically, the gunner's mates onboard throw some kind of "target" into the water, the boat circles around, and then they shoot it until it sinks or they run out of ammo. Of course, they're timed to see how fast each team can get to their gun mount. Afterall, it is an exercise and not just a chance to shoot a really big gun for fun... right?

If I remember correctly, this guy was from Wisconsin, he was just out travelling the country with nothing but his mini band setup. Interesting fellow. Yes, I did tip him. :)

I shot this at a wine and jazz festival. Good music + good booze = good time!
