What has been the biggest risk you have taken as a photographer?
Maybe a close second was a river canoe ride, mid seventies or so, the Stanislaus River was dammed for the New Malones project (California) and the river was to disappear. A friend and I decided a last chance to photograph the river was worth the risk, so with the spring melt making the river dangerous we jumped in anyway. I found out after we swamped in a steep gorge my friend couldn't swim. (Life jackets are useless in water like that). We were lucky to survive that. I had more fun as a young man but I sure was stupid at times......
Why so serious?
