    Re: Caught in the act a BIG NO NO!

    yup, by the time you snapped that he could be DEAD. I see this at every race I have been too, and I am amazed at the number of close calls. In the past 7 years I have seen one photog killed, and 15-20 injured because they were not paying attention at race tracks, and thats not counting the ones I have seen on TV.....there was one tonight that about got run down at a small track

    Re: Caught in the act a BIG NO NO!

    Last night there was an apartment fire that left 16 families homeless in Carmel In and in another case stupidity the fire was set by some moron shooting off fireworks next or too near a bush. Before anyone could react the bush was burning with flames 10 feet high and the building caught fire. I thought of this photo when I heard about that fire and wondered if these two were related
