  • Tour guide at the 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.

  • FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL: "GREENREAD" AND "WASTEWATCHER" Photo Illustration for the Future of Communication GEO (Germany) Special Issue. Fictional Representation and Caption: The first day of school for one-year-olds is less traumatic when the learning guide can monitor their progress with infant-friendly "Greenreads", (friendly retro laptops with green-red monitoring LEDs that display learning progress). Getting a jump-start on education is crucial to the future success of a citizen in this very wired world. Moving beyond the abdominal skin speakers to fetal cell phones became so common by mid-century that many children were able to communicate very well by the time they started school at 12 months, even though they had not mastered verbal speech.

  • Abdul-Baset Razem, a Palestinian guide and driver in his extended family's backyard olive orchard with his day's worth of food in the Palestinian village of Abu Dis in East Jerusalem. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food on a day in the month of October was 3000 kcals. He is 40 years of age; 5 feet, 6 inches tall; and 204 pounds. On the hilltop in the distance, Israel's 25-foot-high concrete security barrier cuts off this Abu Dis neighborhood from Jerusalem, turning a short trip into the city into an extremely long and circuitous journey requiring passage through an Israeli checkpoint on the highway. Constructed by the Israeli government to cut down on attacks and suicide bombings, the highly controversial 436-mile-long barrier was 60 percent complete at the time of this photo. For the majority of Palestinians, travel to and from East Jerusalem now requires special permits from the Israeli government?often difficult or impossible to obtain. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Firefighters from the KWWK (Kuwait Wild Well Killers) attempt to kill an oil well fire in the Rumaila field by dousing it with high pressure water hoses. Then they will guide a "stinger" that will pump drilling mud into the damaged well. A "stinger" is a tapered pipe on the end of a long steel boom controlled by a bulldozer. Drilling mud, under high pressure, is pumped through the stinger into the well, stopping the flow of oil and gas. A wind shift after a sandstorm covered many of the men and machines in oil, a dangerous shift. The Rumaila field is one of Iraq's biggest oil fields with five billion barrels in reserve. Rumaila, Iraq. Rumaila is also spelled Rumeilah.

  • Madru, who is nicknamed Dru is a Brahmin priest who spends most of his time hanging out at the Varanasi burning ghats explaining the ritual aspects of the cremation site to tourists and journalists alike. Sometimes he is given cash presents in exchange for the information. When he or another Brahmin priest assists at a cremation, he works as a guide as well for the chief mourner, who must follow a prescribed ritual to ensure the proper send off for the loved one. Brahmins are given gifts by the mourning family throughout the ritual process, which begins at home when a Hindu dies and continues for many months and then yearly.

Rumaila is also spelled Rumeilah.     .

  • Professional bullfighter Oscar Higares guides his first bull of the day as it charges past his body at full speed at the annual village festival of San Juan in Campos del Rio, near Murcia in southern Spain.  (Oscar Higares is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) After a dozen more passes, he kills the bull on his first attempt, eliciting a standing ovation from the crowd, which awards him the bull's ears and tail. Oscar and the bull spend just under 15 minutes together in the ring (an anxious period in which Oscar must control not only the objective dangers, but also his fear).   Each bullfight ends with the killing of the bull by the matador (bullfighter).  MODEL RELEASED.

  • Firefighters from the KWWK (Kuwait Wild Well Killers) attempt to extinguish an oil fire in the Rumeilah Oil Field by guiding a "stinger" that will pump drilling mud into the hemoraging, flaming well. Drilling mud, under high pressure, is pumped through the stinger into the well, stopping the flow of oil and gas. Many of the wells are 10,000 feet deep and produce huge volumes of oil and gas under tremendous pressure, which makes capping them difficult and dangerous. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)

  • Firefighters from the Boots and Coots oilwell firefighting company (owned by Halliburton) attempt to kill an oil fire in the Rumaila field by guiding a "stinger" that will pump drilling mud into the damaged well. A "stinger" is a tapered pipe on the end of a long steel boom controlled by a bulldozer. Drilling mud, under high pressure, is pumped through the stinger into the well, stopping the flow of oil and gas. The Rumaila field is one of Iraq's biggest oil fields with five billion barrels in reserve. 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.

  • Intended for surveillance, Urbie is a low-profile, remotely operated machine that crawls over obstacles on bulldozer-like tracks, beaming images of what it sees to its operators. The robot is intended to be exceptionally durable, capable of flipping over and surviving shocks that would destroy most other robots. In a simulated rapid-deployment mission from the comfort of a car, iRobot researcher Tom Frost guides Urbie up a flight of steps in Somerville, MA. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 147.
