Be Careful Shooting Playgrounds - 10-10-2005, 03:41 PM


This is a Star Telegram photographer... she'd been at the top of this slide just a moment before, trying to coax a little girl into the slide so she could shoot her picture... I was waiting at the bottom, ready to capture her at the bottom and I hear this odd shout... and here comes the photographer instead... backwards!



(For those that remember my story about shooting at a high school football game and having another photographer get mad at me because I bumped her when she came up behind me and stuck her monster lens under my lifted elbow... this was her... but she was in a much better mood this day and didn't seem to recognize me.)

looks as though she was in a GREAT mood after that. I'd be laughing and immediately check my equipment.

See Jesus, that's the difference between us amateurs and a working PJ. They don't give a hoot about the equipment. Ever seen the front of Leslie's wide angle zoom?

Just kidding Leslie. You know how much of an anal retentive neat freak I am about my gear... Just pulling your chain
