Out on a limb...




I think I'm getting the hang of photojournalism...
I was driving around searching for beautiful light for my next assignment and then I looked up and saw this kid...dangling from a tree! It was perfect. I immediately did a U-turn and asked him if he minded if I photographed him for a class project. After about 120 frames, I was sure I'd gotten a beautiful shot and was ready to leave...when an evil farm man came storming in on his 4 wheeler! He accused me of trespassing and threatened to call the cops on me for photographing his land. It was classic, with his little hound dogs at his side and everything...I was hard pressed to keep from laughing. I wished him a good day and hightailed it out of there before he pulled out his rifle. What an evening...but it was worth it for this amazing photo!
