We go for a run with our new HPI E-Firestorm Flux models. I am recording at the top of the jump...next thing I know, the car smashes into my face. A day to remember for the wrong reasons! You'll notice that my camera takes most of the impact, but I was left with a swollen lip for a few days. It could have been a lot worse!

If you watch closely, just before the car hits me, I take a picture and the screen turns off on the camera I am holding. Here is that picture: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43666839/DSC01555.JPG

DON'T RECONSTRUCT THIS AT HOME! It was not enjoyable and a complete accident.

DAMN!!!! I bet you were pissed when you found that the subject of your photo was out of focus :)

The best photos are usually the ones shot from a vantage point that people would rarely see (or never see)...sometimes that means putting yourself in harms way to get that shot. Way to sacrifice yourself for the cause :)
