The 2007 Marine Corps Birthday message by General Conway, Commandant.

Emus at the Rockhampton, Australia, Zoo

Being transported by 7-ton truck across the Shoalwater Bay area

Some other Marines and I observed Kangaroos frolicking at Shoalwater Bay

A second video from the Sevens Bar fire.

There's a dive bar... well, there WAS a dive bar in my hometown of Hamburg, New York, that burned up on May 26, 2007. I was working (EMS, not fire) and arrived second after the chief, so got some good pictures and video.

Early on in what was soon to become a pretty significant disaster in the Buffalo, New York area.

Freezing at 29 Palms in January, my desperate marine buddies can't open a can of "dip." It also happened to be my sister's birthday, which brought up the subject of, well, my sisters, who happen to be pretty popular among the marines.

I was filming a strong wind front coming off Lake Erie, while at work, and got nailed by some freezing spray at about sixty miles an hour. It stings quite a bit, and left me soaked. My partner had a good laugh at me over it.

This wouldn't be impressive to those who live in the hurricane states, but for those of us here in Buffalo, it's a windy day.

Once firefighters are through using a building for live fire training evolutions, we conduct a terminal burn... letting it go to the ground while protecting exposures.

I was at Al-Asad, Iraq, when this much-documented dust storm struck in April of 2005. It made the August 2005 issue of Maxim (Circus Maximus, pgs. 26-27). Very cool experience... when it overcame us, the sky around us turned dark brownish-red.

I was working and couldn't make the truck, but here's R3 going to a reported structure fire in North Boston, NY. We are one of the few area FAST teams, which stand by in the event of a firefighter becoming entrapped. See www.newtonabbottfire.com

This is video I shot in the "Seven Corners" intersection of Hamburg, New York on the night of August 14, 2002... or 2003? Either way, it was the day that a huge power outage struck the U.S. and Canada.
