I do a lot of photography including some that is a little on the dangerous side - car accidents, fires, plane crashes, police and military actions, live fire, explosions, etc, etc. You would not believe the people that show up. I am most times with the emergency service people or have been briefed on what is up. Many times I am stepping back to stay safe and bystanders are getting closer and closer. I have watched as people have been pushed out of the danger zone that even the emergency people stay away from.
I love taking the pictures but do not think that any picture is worth a life.
