On Saturday, I shot the 11th annual Myrtle Beach Marathon.  I am working on a multimedia project that I will post here later this week.  While filming and taking pictures I ran across Chief Warrant Officer Dave Ludlow, an instructor at the Warrant Officer Division at Ft. Gordon, Ga. Ludlow was participating in the half marathon, but what made him stand out was that he was in a military uniform, combat boots and all, and he was carrying a 35-pound ruck sack.  In his ruck sack, Ludlow carried each uniform he wore while stationed on several tours in the Middle East as a tribute to all the soldiers overseas.

I thought this was a really cool picture, but there is pretty much NO chance of it reproducing on newsprint: Students in Dan Woods’ electrical/mechanical engineering class watch a video on the different types of engineering involved in the production of bicycles during a presentation by Progress Energy Distribution Engineer Jeff Chandler at Mayo High School for Math, Science and Technology on Monday, February 18, 2008.

I thought the smoke seeping out of the brush during a controlled burn in Florence looked like something out of a sci-fi movie.
