I can't say I coined this term. Among other photographers and even paratroopers, I developed a reputation of being willing to go "above and beyond" to capture the moment, risking myself (no big deal) and my equipment (very big deal!) for the shot. Like most photographers, I generally avoid having my picture taken. Only a few have been captured on film, but I'd like to share some of the less incriminating ones as well as other images of me "on the job" ... |

And we get paid to do this? |

Upper Left: Rappel Training. I wanted to get a tight frame of a student "in a good L-position" while the instructor preps the soldier for "a good bound out." One of the instructors grabbed my spare camera to get this shot.
Upper Right: ROTC Advance Camp. "Larry's Lake" was a trench filled with razor wire, log obstacles, and "motivational fluid." (read as "scummy, stinking pond water") Cadets had to half crawl, half swim to negotiate this obstacle as part of their Recondo training. A fellow Army journalist opted to get this picture of me instead of joining me in the cool, refreshing water.
Lower Left: Fort Bragg. Several hundred feet above is a UH-1 Huey. Several hundred feet below is Hurtt Drop Zone. In between are my two feet, making my last jump as an 82nd Airborne paratrooper. |

Above: Not only had most of the village children never seen a "toobob," or white person, they were fascinated with empty film canisters. Soon I was besieged every time I changed film.
Top Right: Several children in small boats approached our group in Halong Bay in the South China Sea. After letting everyone else get their snapshots from the safety of the boat, I swam out with my camera. Rayma was worried about the camera, not me.
Next: Not every shoot is at risk to life and equipment. A model shoot in New Orleans' City Park.
2nd from bottom: "She's pretty tame, usually. Do you want to go in?" Thinking about how neat it would be to shoot a bobcat without caging between the camera and the cat, I didn't realize the bobcat would have the same idea.
Bottom: Working at the Hugo Awards at the 62nd World Science Fiction Convention, held in 2002 at San Jose, Calif. While most years I do coverage of WorldCon, this particular year I used my Publc Relations training and experience to head up the Media Relations section, working with a 14 person staff and over 100 registered members of the media from 5 continents and all over the US. Since the Hugos are the formal industry award ceremony, much likethe Oscars or Emmys, I wore my Army Corps of Engineers officer mess blues. I didn't have to rent anything, it was easy to track me down in a crowd, and I have a manual on how wear and accessorize it. |
