excellent - do experiments ever change? is there any relevance in physics? Are these kids showin ginterest in the camera or are they genuinely interested in momentum?

Whatever the answers are, this is a great evrionmental portrait and a good advertisement for schoolkids today.

I'm a big fan of partial protraits, especially when you don't need to see al of a person for the compelling image to be captured. Rachel does a great job here, the hands show hard work and care being taken over an ancient craft.

The elation of promotion - in this case, Bristol Rovers' victory in the Division 2 playoffs.

These guys look pretty pleased about it.
