The Russian Sub and the Queen Mary This was my first time to sneak onto a Russian sub.These are the kinds of things you probably are not supposed to do, but I figure the risk was about 1000% lower since the sub was no longer in Russian waters. In fact, it’s in friendly Long Beach, docked alongside the Queen Mary.There was almost no security, and the gate was fairly easy to scale. I was with Tom, and somehow we talked one another into it. When you are with a friend and about to do something risky, either you talk each other into it or you talk each other out of it.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Ridge without Time This is an unusual photo, isn’t it?I started processing it, then stopped. It didn’t really require any processing… it just struck me as interesting and unusual. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I do remember being at this spot in Iceland when I took the shot, thinking it was ethereal and wonderful in a strange way.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Boat in Oahu I waded out into the lukewarm water with my tripod to get this scene. I never had taken my tripod into water before like this, so I did not expect it to fill up with water. I guess it makes sense, upon reflection. And it turns out that it is a gift that keeps on giving. For weeks and weeks after this move, whenever I launch my tripod over my shoulder, I can still hear the water rolling back and forth through the tubes. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
