I've been off the map for a while as it has been a busy couple of months—I've not even thought of blogging—but I thought I'd put up a shot I enjoyed from a recent shoot.

The story is from the Innovation issue of Business Alabama and this shot is from a local Birmingham company called Vista Engineering.

This is a model skull showing a jaw implant in front the part of the machine where the reaction happens that creates the metal alloy.

This is the kind of thing that blows my mind. I don't pretend to understand what all is happening, but I love that someone was able to figure this stuff out. So cool.
