  • Titan Missile Museum, Green Valley, Arizona. When the SALT Treaty called for the de-activation of the 18 Titan missile silos that ring Tucson, volunteers at the Pima Air Museum asked if one could be retained for public tours. After much negotiation, including additional talks with SALT officials, the Green Valley complex of the 390th Strategic Missile Wing was opened to the public. Deep in the ground, behind a couple of 6,000 pound blast doors is the silo itself. The 110 foot tall missile weighed 170 tons when it was fueled and ready to fly.

  • Boots and Coots firefighters photograph each other near a raging oil well fire in Rumaila field, Southern Iraq. The Rumaila field is one of Iraq's biggest with five billion barrels in reserve. Boots and Coots had a team of firefighters in Kuwait ready to go into Iraq several weeks before the war began. All of their equipment (including bulldozers and trucks) was flown in from Texas on large Russian cargo planes (AN-124s). Many of the wells are 10,000 feet deep and produce huge volumes of oil and gas under tremendous pressure, which makes capping them very difficult and dangerous. Rumaila is also spelled Rumeilah.

  • In a rice paddy near Ubud, Bali (Indonesia), a young boy catches dragonflies with a wand made from jackfruit palm frond stem tipped with sticky jackfruit sap. He pulls the dragonfly off the end of the wand before skewering it on a stick to take home. Past generation of Balinese kids routinely caught dragonflies this way, then dewinged, and stir-fried them with coconut oil: a crispy protein snack. This practice has mostly disappeared due to a more prosperous population that has ready access to chicken. Image from the book project Man Eating Bugs: The Art and Science of Eating Insects.
