  • 162nd Infantry Approaches Biak
    The 41st Infantry Division served from 1942-1945 in the Southwest Pacific Area of Operations during World War II. The Oregon National Guard formed the nucleus of the 41st Division when it first went to war and included both the 162nd and 186th Infantry Regiments. These photos tell the story of a few of the division's hard-fought victories during the island-hopping campaigns in New Guinea and the Philippines.

  • Hard Weekend's Training!
    While working with Cadet Smith and the GFAD's he had brought out on the second day of the exercise, I had a chance to role-play an obnoxious photo journalist who got in everyone's way and generally caused much trouble. These photos are some of the shots I took as a firefight unfolded around the outskirts of our make-shift local national village and its marketplace.

Classic vs. New Camaro

Street racing is never a good idea, but racing along across a bridge seems to be a particularly bad plan. Nevertheless, a group of folks in Northern California decided to pit a 2010 Camaro SS against a '68 Camaro SS convert that has been heavily upgraded to include 3:73 gears, a 406 cubic inch V8 and a five speed manual tranny.

Here are the results. I'm glad nobody got hurt, especially after the guy in the '68 noted how "spongy" his brakes became after the first two runs. Apparently, the same group also pitted the new Camaro against an early 70's Chevelle, too.
