Sometimes I think I was a lucky photojournalist in my former life and still carry the luck. I wish I could get out more and capture for my fine art archive collection but the Architectural Photography takes precedence right now. So where am I going with this blog? In the last two years I’ve been out only a handful of times (mulit-day trips) to specifically shoot for my art. And twice during my 5 excursions I’ve been photographing mountains while news is breaking in those mountains! For example with this popular photo: http://bit.ly/cgIAnk titled “Fosset’s Rest”. I was shooting this range the exact same moment the SAR (search & rescue) were verifying the wreckage of adventurer Steve Fosset’s plane (did not know while I was shooting). And as of last weekend photographing at Stonewall Peak in East San Diego County when a Sheriffs helicopter shows up and starts circling the mountain looking for a lost hiker. I guess I’m just in the right place at the right time with my Camera. If AP or Reuters comes knocking I’ll gladly name my price.
