Wow.. amazing capture. The shot you posted in your original post and the one that Maverick linked to are different photos though... how many did you take that are floating around out there?

Now that the AP has used your photo and gave you credit ya should contact them and apply to be a "freelance" photog for them on a permanent basis. That way if they have events in your area you could get the call to be official for them. Kinda fun to have a press pass ;)

Man, proof if proof was required that you should ALWAYS have you camera with you

Many many congratulations!!!!!!!!!

I'm stoked!

I will post more when I get home and can process my photos.


I saw that in the news this AM. COOL!!!!!! I knew that "nobody" I knew had to take that photo. ;)

That is amazing! I am journalist, and today, while I was picking pics from AP for my pages, I saw your pics. There were two of them. Of course, I didn't have any idea those were yours :))

Congrats on the shot and getting picked up.

By the way, your photo showed up this morning in Metro -- at least in the New York issue. Metro describes itself as the "World's Largest Global Newspaper" -- it's a freebie I frequently pick up on the way to work.

This is the first time the media is thankful that there was a newsworthy even and that nobody was there to photograph it.

Wow -- that's fantastic! Good for you -- seems like the kind of thing I'd be there to witness, and then realize that my camera was in the car or something.

I saw that picture on CNN yesterday!!!!!

Done a quick search on our gallery here at work (News Limited) and yep, found it in our nest :P

They picked up 2 in a sequence of four. One for the plane, the 2nd for the reaction of the lady in the chair.

I'm surprised to see so many news agencies scrambling to cover a story that nobody has an interet in.

Especially with such weak reporting. The reporter said that Nobody was hurt, but I know that I came out unscathed.

Well, you gotta take opportunities like this to get some real mileage out of that username. =)

Seriously, though - awesome work! Congrats!

Can anybody from the UK tell me what Zoo Magazine is? They have asked to run the photo in an upcoming issue. I haven't heard of them before. Thanks.
 06/12/2007 02:54:36 PM · #47
If a plane crashes on the beach and Nobody was there to see it, did it make a noise??
 06/12/2007 02:59:14 PM · #48
This is what I got when I googled zoo magazine UK. Its a men magazine, sports and naked women, stuff like that.

Probably not work safe.

Zoo Magazine
