So it’s not often a portrait photographer would be putting his life and equipment on the line.

Sure an adventure photographer or even some kinds of sport photographers.
Absolutely for a wartime photographer …

But not a portrait or wedding photographer!!

Well I might not have died falling into the river I’d say 50/50 with the almost freezing mountain water. But it was sure possible to fall in and the camera woulda been toast.
And those rocks were crazy slippery.

Perhaps I’m a wimp or perhaps I want to make it into a bigger deal than it was.

UPDATE: I guess I was right in thinking it was pretty risky… here’s a story of an actual death

Let’s just say my heart was pumping getting out on the rock and the dang thing was slick as anything… but stephen thought ahead and put towels on the rocks … or it would have been impossible.

This is stephen getting the towels on the rock. Doesn’t really show that there was no easy way to get to the rock.

I’m sad I didn’t get him to take a picture of me on the rock… but my thoughts were elsewhere.

Might we add the obvious!! They were out on that log… they were pretty crazy too!

And stephen!! Well the kids just a stud… jumping around on those slick rocks!
Going back to my bag when the battery ran out. Etc Etc

Fun times!!
