  • Rainbow Falls at Devils' Postpile National Monument. Devil's Postpile National Monument was established in 1911 by presidential proclamation. It protects and preserves the Devils Postpile formation, the 101-foot high Rainbow Falls, and pristine mountain scenery..The Devils Postpile formation is a rare sight in the geologic world and ranks as one of the world's finest examples of columnar basalt. Its columns tower 60 feet high and display an unusual symmetry. Another wonder is in store just downstream from the Postpile at Rainbow Falls, once called "a gem unique and worthy of its name." When the sun is overhead, a bright rainbow highlights the spectacular falls. Route 395: Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.

  • MODEL RELEASED. Immunodeficiency research. Dr Don Mosier counts mouse and human cells in a SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) mouse that he implanted with a human immune system. The device at right is a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. The rare genetic mutation of SCID, found in both mice and humans, destroys the immune system and the body is unable to fight infection. Dr Mosier managed to implant disease-fighting human white blood cells into SCID mice giving them a permanent human immune system. This breakthrough enables researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in California, USA, to study human immune disorders such as SCID, AIDS, leukemia and allergies. MODEL RELEASED.[1995]

  • The Itanoni Tortillería in Oaxaca, Mexico, sells handmade tortillas cooked on top of traditional clay ovens. It contracts with local growers to produce increasingly rare native varieties of corn. Oaxaca is the center of diversity for corn, the world headquarters, so to speak, of its gene pool. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). In a rare moment, when not surrounded by the in-laws and cousins with whom they share a Colonial-era house, the Costa family: Ramon Costa Allouis, Sandra Raymond Mundi, and their children Lisandra, and Fabio, in the courtyard of their extended family's home in Havana, Cuba with one week's worth of food. The Costa family is one of the thirty families featured in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 96)

  • A collection of coprolite at a fossil fair. Coprolites are the fossilized feces of prehistoric animals. As it is very rare that a sample can be accurately related to a specific genus of animal, coprolites are classified according to their own taxonomy. Particularly well-preserved examples may reveal data on the animal's diet, especially in more recent mammals such as bears and cave lions. Fossil fairs provide a forum for amateur and commercial collector to trade in prehistoric remains. Although frowned upon by many academics, amateur paleontologists have often made finds of previously unknown species. (1991)

  • Not long before going to Antarctica, William L. "Red" Whittaker took a rare moment off from his busy schedule to accompany Nomad, his meteorite-hunting robot, on a practice run. The robot spent Antarctica's summer of 2000 on the ice, hunting for meteorites. With its onboard instruments, Nomad found and classified five. It was the first time that a machine autonomously made a scientific discovery. Pittsburgh, PA. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 138-139.

  • MODEL RELEASED. Gene therapy. Geneticist Dr Donald Kohn with a five-month-old Apache baby who suffers from SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency). The baby is receiving gene therapy for its condition. It is isolated in a sterile tent to prevent infection. The rare genetic mutation of SCID destroys the immune system making the body unable to fight infection. SCID babies lack a vital enzyme, which their immune system needs. Gene therapy involves inserting a gene for this enzyme into stem bone marrow cells and transplanting the cells into the baby. With this enzyme, stem cells may produce normal immune system blood cells. Photographed at the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, USA.

  • Pigs/Swine/Hog: A huge breeding boar named Shank at the Dee Brothers hog farm, State Center, Iowa. This 800 lb. breeding boar named Shank had rarely been outside of his breeding barn before this photograph. The only other time the hog had been outdoors was to have his picture taken with then President Ronald Reagan. USA.

  • A German fossil expert carrying the skull of a fossil fish, Xiphactinus. This photo was taken in a motel in Tucson, Arizona, during the annual Fossil Fair. Amateur and commercial collectors gather at the fair to trade in fossil remains. Although many academics are unhappy with such events, amateur collectors frequently discover the remains of previously unknown species or very fine examples of known species. Such fossils are recovered from private land: in the USA private individuals are rarely granted the special license needed to hunt for fossils on public land. MODEL RELEASED (1991)

  • Bruce Hopkins, who works as a lifeguard at the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.  (Featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food on a typical day in the month of February was 3700 kcals. He is 35 years of age;  6 feet tall, and 180 pounds. Hopkins eats moderately, rarely (if ever) eats fast food, and drinks alcohol only when he and his wife go to dinner with friends. MODEL RELEASED.
