  • Seal hunter Emil Madsen shouts commands to his dogs as they try to get over a crack in the ice near Cap Hope Village in Greenland.  (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Getting over these cracks can be very dangerous as there is always the very serious worry of falling in. In the spring this can be dangerous because the ice is breaking up and sometimes huge pieces break off and move out to sea. When the snow crust is hard enough to ensure that the dogs won't break through, they can pull the half-ton weight of the sled for hours on end. On level ground, the animals pull at about the pace of a running human, but the sleds can whip down hills so fast that drivers must step on the brake at the rear of the sled to avoid running over their dogs.  MODEL RELEASED.

  • BEDTIME FOR BOZOS WITH THE "HONEYMOONER" Photo Illustration for the Future of Communication GEO (Germany) Special issue. Fictional Representation and Caption: Video phones and teledildactic interactive body gloves facilitated large numbers of long distance relationships among huge numbers of couples in an age where job mobility was crucial to financial well being. But as divorce rates grew, the interpersonal skills for maintaining relationships atrophied, and couples found it easier to have a virtual partner that had a physical presence in the bedroom. No more headaches, bad breath, receding hair or cellulite to worry about. With a "Honeymooner", robotic sex doll, programmable with a PC, all kinds of simulations are possible. Richard "Dick" Kravitz of Sonoma, California,  MODEL RELEASED.
