Outliers | B-25 Crawlway The B-25 Bombardier’s Crawlway looks like a tight squeeze and a bit daunting. Entry to the bombardier’s nose compartment is through the tunnel beneath the left side of the flight deck. Although it’s called a “crawlway”, the easiest and fastest method to get through is to lie on your back and pull yourself along the sheet-metal deck using the yellow hand-rails overhead.

Outliers | Wolf Chop Normally, I don’t capture images of captive wildlife. Wolf Park treats their wolves like they were in the wild and conducts wolf research in conjunction with major universities and national parks. They offer a few opportunities each year for photogs to learn and photograph from inside the enclosure (large, think 40 acres) with the wolves. It’s an interesting experience; not necessarily for the faint of heart. For more information and images, see Wolf Park Wolves | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story Simple click while inside wolf enclosure! This image was captured inside the wolf enclosure. Some folks have asked me, if the wolf was close. Well, with a 135mm lens, he wasn’t right next to me, but he was still pretty close; a few feet. If this wolf had not been socialized, the experience would have been more than a bit scary. Of course, in the wild, I would have maybe one chance in ten million, to get this close to a wolf. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
