Too Close For Comfort

Check out this incredible photograph by David Proeber. Talk about a good "grab", but he had to hightail it out of there.



Story is here.

I suppose the fact that the fugitive had a cigar clenched in his teeth would indicate that running around brandishing a pistol wasn't enough of a health risk to keep the man's adrenaline surging. For his sake, too bad he was caught. That photo could have been the basis for a lucrative endorsement deal with Nike. The photographer should run out and buy a lottery ticket while his luck is still holding.

Those would be New Balance shoes.

I can't believe some of the comments on that site. Especially the ones about not publishing
the pic as it might worry his family and the others about the exposure?

I think the "highlights are blown" comment was meant as a joke, but it is hard to tell.

But the "shouldn't be published because it might upset his family" comments are ludicrous in my opinion.

I showed the picture to my wife, and she thought the same thing I did when I first saw it: It's a still from a movie set. If the criminal's eyes weren't locked on the camera, a lot of the picture's power would be lost.
