Vagabond
All David Helm wanted in life was adventure. Finding gold and treasure was his dream. His dream turned into a nightmare. With his best friend, the ex cop Daniel OBrien, an accumulation of idiots and an ancient treasure map, they all boarded Davids plane for a trip to the Amazon. A plane crash into the canopy of the rainforest 140 feet from the ground was a whole lot more adventure than David Helm had bargained for. The Amazon jungle was filled with little brown men with blowguns and poison darts, all dedicated to the demise of David and his group of investors, environmentalists and stowaways; with a couple of young lady gold diggers thrown in for good measure. Davids job was simple: Find the gold, defeat the headhunters, stay alive and find a way out of the rainforest and home. To accomplish all this he would have to rely on his many abilities and experiences from his military service in Vietnam, which to hear his friend Daniel OBrien tell it, were vast indeed

Kinzua
The future of the valley of the upper Allegheny River was predetermined in the 1930s with talks of flood control. As time drew nearer for construction of Kinzua Dam, even the last protesters conceded their world was doomed. It was not the end of the world, but it was the end of their world, their way of life--for how can you infuse hope into the spirit of man when all is ordained to be taken from him? To those who intimately knew these times, perhaps the valleys are better known by what is gone than by what remains today. True, the past cannot be captured, but we may forever ponder the times lost--villages abandoned; farms without green fields; trees cleared and burned, as the fires set by the Corps rid the valleys and remote hamlets of the residue of human life. For centuries the Allegheny hills acted as stewards guarding, perhaps falsely, the destiny of the inhabitants. Kinzua Dam held back the Allegheny River as everyone and everything previously known vanished beneath it. As some witnessed the extinction of a valley, others marveled at the engineering of a great dam--for as Cornplanter discerned--upon the eternal scroll, time writes the passing.

War Time on Wadjemup
The internment camp on Rottnest Island, established for enemy aliens from Germany and Austria-Hungary during World War I, can be considered a historical oddity, not least because Indigenous prisoners were also held captive there by Australian soldiers and warders. The coexistence of men from the most diverse backgrounds and social circumstances, some of whom did not even share a common language, yet still cohabited peacefully, serves on reflection as an inspiration. Thanks to a multitude of photographs, we can still gain a very good insight into this period in Australia, when rare scenes of fraternisation transcended contentious national and ethnic boundaries during the Great War.
