Okay maybe the wrong place to post this but it is meant for fun.

 

I think I will make a small card of this and keep it in my wallet so when people ask or say oh it must be fun being a Pro photographer.

 

Well yea if you like wearing steel toe shoes that weigh 40 lbs and you have to wear a plastic suit and latex gloves all day. Not to mention a hard hat and glasses which you can't get the camera to your eye and than put a gas mask on and choke yourself to death with the straps.

 

And all that so you can induce poison and kill yourself . BTW what was my day rate for this. ROTFLMAO

 

This was my day. LOL Not to mention 2 hours in a Doctors office to see if i could breath okay the day before > Luckily it was not running at the time because i would have been in a spacesuit. FUN

 

Shot with the M8 of course with pretty much the 28 and 21 and i had to take off the 1.25 magnifer becuase i could barely see inside the camera and even without them I could only focus , so the LCD was a major hit today.:D

Good to know and "see" you in action, Guy ... I can feel you in these heavy armors. :)

 

Speaking of day rates, I always think that the most profitable photography is wedding (excluding the big commercial and fashion guys of course), isn't it the case?

in Iraq we had NBC suits that had hoods as well, you wear all that and a gas mask

 

with the heat out there I recon you might last 40 minutes before you evaporated

we used to joke that they should put a tap in the feet so they could pour us out and re-constitute later

 

still we had it easier than many photojournalists, where compared to any other conflict the highest death rate of them has been recorded
