Anything For The Perfect Shot

I found this link while surfing and wanted to share it. Some of these really made me laugh and I could relate to some others, more than I should admit.

I thought I recognized this camera bag (http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hVOW2U7K4-M/Sjq-BhMHmoI/AAAAAAABCf8/H9C5nOqk0Tg/s640/899625653_8b4391ee8a_o.jpg) but remembered that Randy Hargett shoots Canon!

Cool site, thanks for sharing!

Some of the images were pretty funny but it was the title of the thread that got my attention. You can go to far to get a shot. I was recently out shooting and was trying for a better angle slipped and fell off a wall. I ended up with a dislocated and broken finger on my left hand and tore the ligaments in my right bicep which is going to require surgery and put me out of commission for the next two months. So as a warning from me to everyone out there BE CAREFUL.

Tom,

Thank you very much for your interest in my photography. I missed your posting due to my recovering from an illness and my recent hosting of a CNPA outing to Reynolda Gardens. It has been a while since we last spoke, I thought you might be interested in what I have been up to. I have just opened a new "mini" studio in Mint Hill, and I am already formulating plans for a larger place as things are going very well. Otherwise, I have been working diligently toward my Master of Photography through PPA.

On the other hand, that camera bag in the photo that you posted (I assumed you had permission to repost that) does not look anything like my camera bag. My camera bag has way too much equipment to carry any beer or sodas. I do on occasion have a few cold refreshments in a cooler in the back of my truck. I don't mind rewarding myself after a hard day of shooting.

Again, I appreciate your interest in my photography, and look forward to seeing you again, perhaps it might be when you decide to volunteer to host a CNPA event or post a photograph to which you have permission.

Thanks,

Randy

Hi Randy -

Glad to hear you are recovering and congratulations on your mini studio and your efforts toward the Master of Photography. I hope you are taking my comments in the spirit of good humor in which they were intended. Be assured that by linking to the photo that was already posted on another website and not copying it no laws were violated. I take copyright ownership very seriously (I registered my 2nd quarter images this morning and am currently writing a tutorial on the subject) and would not use images improperly.

See you on the next outing on which we are concurrently attending!
