I agree about images being dulled down on this forum, can you look into this?

Done. I brought it up with some of our staff, and they’re looking into it.

Planes of Fame Airshow in Chino CA. For the photo nerds, Rolleiflex 2.8f on Ilford Delta 100

Love it! I’ve also taken a TLR to Planes of Fame (a Minolta Autocord).

I’ll post some more next week. I dig the re-enactors and love shooting portraits of the veterans!

I’ve been meaning to go to the show for years and something always comes up. Hopefully next year, though.

SiriusBlack · July 26, 2019 6:51PM

@PCGSPhoto I’m sure I’ll be there, so we should say hi 🤣 we might have met already, who knows, I work at a camera store in Fullerton, cameras are a small community!

Yes, that is the species.

Great fighting fish, super tasty, fast-growing and sustainable.

It is the Wall on the Southern Border.

Sunland Park, New Mexico, separated by a steel fence from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.

An artists concept to show love for one another.

Best photo of the year, just children playing

Children/adults one side and adults the other. But looks like fun... takes one bad apple to mess it up though.

Fortunately for us, living in the USA is great...we have all the foods of the world somewhere within our borders. I can't say that for many other countries. So, that white spongey bread is called Idli, used for dipping...top, clockwise, Batata Rassa, Veg Kurma, Lobiya Masala, don't remember the other. The egg white vegetable omelette is covered with Veg Kurma. You asked.

Apologies for jumping the gun, but it already seems like it should be Friday.

Earlier this week I took this photo with the pictured children only to come across the real thing an hour later less than a half mile distant.

Forgive me [do not ban me] for posting early this week, but my job requires me to be in a location with no internet access for the next few days

Army officer, ‘Amazing Race’ runner-up vies for Ms. Veteran America crown

Army Lt. Col. Tara Carr — shown here at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan in May, 2017 — is one of 25 finalists in the Ms. Veteran America competition. The winner will be crowned Oct. 8 in Los Angeles.

COURTESY OF TARA CARR

FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii — Army Lt. Col. Tara Carr has every intention of claiming the title of Ms. Veteran America as she competes against 24 other finalists next month in Los Angeles.

But the 39-year-old has shown ample grace in being a runner-up.

As a contestant on the 29th season of CBS’s “Amazing Race,” she and her partner competed for the first prize of $1 million by completing challenges during a few fast-paced weeks in Panama, Tanzania, Norway, Italy, Greece, South Korea and Vietnam in the summer of 2016.

“We fell short of a million dollars by a few minutes,” Carr said of the second-place finish.

It was “a hard pill to swallow,” she said. But as the show began airing in the spring of 2017 and she’d deployed to Afghanistan, Carr soon set her sights on the next challenge: the Ms. Veteran America crown.

“People were following my journey, and a retired Army veteran over there mentioned that there was a Ms. Veteran America competition, so I started researching it,” she said.

The competition is among a handful of events run by Final Salute, an organization founded in 2010 by Army veteran Jaspen Boothe and devoted primarily to assisting homeless female veterans.

The intent of the competition, according to Final Salute’s website, is to highlight “the strength, courage and sacrifice of our nation’s military women” and to encourage those women to “uplift each other and find their tribe.”

Ms. Veteran America is not a beauty contest, and despite its name, both veterans and those still serving in the U.S. military are eligible to compete. There are no age, weight or height restrictions.

Contestants are scored and ranked for grace, poise, confidence and personality based on an interview, talent performance, military background and history of advocacy.
