Be it leaning precariously over a 2nd story balcony, running full speed bare foot through the Gulf of Mexico, balancing atop a barstool to get just the right angle for that newborn shot or provoking small children to ‘go ahead and try to splash me’ while holding $3k worth of equipment in my hands. I have to admit that I’ve been known to do some otherwise crazy stuff trying to capture that perfect moment with my camera. It really is a wonder I haven’t landed myself in the ER a time or two. Just recently I was so intently focused on capturing the giggles of an adorable baby girl I didn’t realize I was backing myself right into a little 2′ wall which I subsequently ended up falling backward right over the top of landing squarely on my behind. But hey, it did make her laugh so I guess it was worth it. 
So when I stumbled upon this link today it made me feel pretty good to know that I’m not the only photographer to behave this way. In fact from the looks of things I’m starting to think that my random acts of insanity are really quite sane after all. If you’re in need of a good chuckle, or just like to see grown people in very precarious situations, have a peek at this collection of Photographs of Photographers from 35millimeter.
Oh and if anyone knows where I can get one of these little do-hickies feel free to send me an email. *giggle* I’m kidding!! (Sorta!)
