Firefighters in action photo

[RagingInMiami]

Inspired by Robb's contest entry, I went rummaging through some old photos and scanned this into my computer. I took it when I worked as a cop reporter in Southern California back in 1999. Film, of course.
The firefighters were battling a brush fire off of I-15, just outside San Bernardino. Then a spot fire flared up in the middle median, and I ran behind the firefighters to grab this photo as the CHP officer was yelling at me to come back.

Good pictures are easy to get, the great pictures almost always involve a lot of effort/risk

2. As Robert Capra said shortly before stepping on a landmine

and killing himself...

"If your pictures are not good enough, you are not close enough."

6. The way I see it

Spit washes off. A picture is permanent.
