Subject: Fw: Photographer
A photographer from a well-known national magazine was assigned to cover
Southern California's wildfires. The
magazine wanted pictures of the heroic work the fire fighters were doing
as they battled the blazes.
When the photographer arrived on the scene he realized that the smoke
was so thick that it would seriously impede, or even make impossible,
his obtaining good photographs from ground-level.
He requested permission from his boss to rent a plane and take photos
from the air. His request was approved, and via
a cell phone call to the local county airport, necessary arrangements
were made. He was told a single-engine plane
would be waiting for him at the airport.
He arrived at the airfield and spotted a plane warming up outside a
hangar. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the
door shut, and shouted, "Let's go!"
The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind, and roared down the
runway. Within just a minute or two of his arrival they were in the air.
The photographer requested the pilot to, "Fly over the valley and make
two or three low passes so I can take some
pictures of the fires on the hillsides."
"Why?" asked the pilot.
"Because I'm a photographer for a national magazine," he responded, "and
I need to get some close-up shots."
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment; finally he stammered, "So,
you're telling me you're not the flight instructor?"
