Photographer Overboard



My tourism assignment was to illustrate people enjoying themselves

boating. The kind with beautiful models, wind blown hair, smiling faces

and not a care in the world.



The shoot went very well as we, model boat and photographer boat cruised up

and down the lake doing various versions of happy boating people.  When I 
was

satisfied I waved the others back to the dock.



My boat driver asked, "is that a wrap?"  "Yes, let's go get a Scotch!"  And 
befoe I sat down he hit

the throttle and turned the boat at the same time, immediately launching me 
and camera airborne over the side.



Quickly coming about to pick me up. he leaned over the side reaching to give 
me a hand and asked..

"Was that Scotch and water or soda?"



Trust me it may sound funny, it wasn't!
