Wow the combination of this picture and the name Electromagnetic Quiet zone make this seem really dreamy. I googled the photographer and found another one of his projects where he archived military patches recieved by officers who participated in "black ops" - some of them are pretty disturbing: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/01/science/01patc.html
