I may have been a photographer in some of these scenes.

Cheers,

Ha! I try not to take too much risk for a shot but it can be hard to resist sometimes, especially if things are happening fast.
I've lost some skin, bruised ribs, and broken a couple of lens hoods and introduced a rough spot in the zoom motion of a lens by trying too hard to get the shot. But when you get that shot it's pretty glorious!

I had a clean run as a MOTO PHOTO guy (shooting from the back of a motorcycle) with a big bike race through the mountains (USA Pro Challenge) last year but then earlier this summer I crashed into my own camera trying to be my own mountain bike model. Actually I'm pretty glad the crash was there and not in that race!

Hey! I never signed a model release for these!   :D

Thanks for posting, Peter.

Thanks, this is funny.
Photographer at puddle or on sandy beach with bum in air  - I resemble that pose - hazard of shooting macro of ground flora or fauna - I have been shooting mushrooms lately.

The photo of the photographer sharing the LCD image with the great ape is charming. Puts real meaning in the slang, "to chimp". Pigeons in St. Marks square is also charming.
