A Harvard during a flypast at the Avalon Melbourne Airshow 2007 /
The Harvard (also called the AT-6, Yale, Texan, SNJ, Wirraway) made by North American was a twin-seat trainer. In this capacity, it was used by almost every major power and even as a combat aircraft from the thirties into the sixties. The Royal Air Force initially ordered several hundred of this variant, with British instruments and radios, in 1938. The Brits coined the name “HARVARD” for it. (by which name it would become known in most of the commonwealth countries) Elvington, York / 2005

I shot this on the night of Friday 5 June this year, after driving almost 600 kilometres to the New South Wales town of Temora, in the Riverina region of the Outback. For about five minutes, the sky was aflame just as I was leaving the Temora Aviation Museum. I stood there with my camera, shooting rapidly, when I heard an aircraft starting to taxi out. In the darkness (and because I was standing between two buildings) I could not see the aircraft, but I waited patiently, hoping it would taxi out between me and the sunset. As you can see, it did! I shot three frames as the World War II-era Harvard moved majestically down the apron towards the runway. This shot – the first in the sequence – is probably my favourite because the distinctive cockpit canopy emphasises the colour of the horizon. Just a lucky shot – I was in the right place at the right time! The interesting perspective is that this shot could well have been taken in the 1940s, because there is nothing in the frame to identify it as being shot in 2009. I do not crop or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, fitted with a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/180 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm.

This was shot late in the evening on June 5 this year, as a formation of three vintage Harvards literally roared over me at Temora, New South Wales. It’s not the sharpest image, because I had no time to change the settings on the camera. To take this shot, I literally grabbed my camera out of the bag and “tracked” the Harvards in my viewfinder for a couple of seconds before hitting the shutter. A tough shot to achieve, but I’m glad I tried. It’s not every day you see something like this to finish up your day! I do not crop or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/90 sec, ISO 400, focal length 125mm. (Temora 5 June – 7633)
Besides changing it to black and white, this was a true on the street portrait, with no set up or post edits. The legendary chess players in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA are always photogenic, but this particular guy really thought about every move. It was great to watch.

This is special work for one of my classmates, she was looking for something pink. Nikon D60, 35mm, raw, ND4, partial color substitution Original shot : / The Harvard Bridge, Boston-Cambridge, MA was first constructed in 1891. The bridge was named for the Reverend John Harvard, for whom Harvard University is also named, rather than after the university itself. John Harvard was an early donor to what later became the university; not, as is often assumed, its founder. Possibly due to its proximity to the bridge, there have been a number of tales reported at MIT as to how the bridge came to be named “Harvard”.[ According to one MIT legend,the bridge is so named because when it was originally constructed the state offered to name it after the Cambridge school that was most deserving. Harvard argued that their contribution to education was well-known, and thus they deserved the name. MIT concurred, having analyzed the bridge and found it structurally unsound (and thus more deserving of the Harvard name than the MIT name).
