Yeah that happens in some parts of the world. I bet getting shots in the Crimea right now is just as fun.

I don't know where the Crimea is, but I prefer getting my shots in the arm or the butt.

I've seen video footage of these journalists in these dangerous situations and it's pretty nuts. I have the same gut instinct so I know where they are coming from, but it is absolutely crazy. I've never been in a situation where a gun was pointed at me, but I've been in protests and nearly been trampled while getting shots. A gun would be way more intense, but I wouldn't really know if my "get in there and capture it" instinct would change much until actually confronted with the situation I suppose. I can lose myself in these things.

Who remembers this guy?



You can't see this video anymore, but it's a live fire exercise and the guy was taking photos.

Anyway, here's some more:

OMG that photo with the bear chasing after the photographers for some reason I find comical.  The expressions on their faces look not 100% serious, but mischievous.   Good photos, which meant, while others were running, one photographer was still snapping away!
