Tell us about the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “world’s most dangerous road.” …What’s your general inclination toward things with names like “most dangerous” – does it draw you in, or make you run screaming from the room?

I WANT TO GO!

I hear “MOST DANGEROUS”  and I’m already there.  If it wasn’t for the long, long hours on a bus and the ridiculous ‘reciprocity’ (a.k.a.REVENGE) fee I have to pay as a US Citizen to get into Bolivia, I would have already gone.  I still want to go, but this trip requires me to go to places I don’t have to pay to get into, besides Chile.  Wish I knew about the $140 revenge fee into Chile, more than 5 hours before my plane left…but at least that surprise wasn’t waiting for me at the gate; thank you Brendan Van Son.

I love going to places that say “DANGER”, “DEATH” or “HIGHLY LIKELY MAIMING”.  This usually means there is going to be lots of fun and some great photos ops.

You read:

“Danger.  Do not climb on rocks.  Death may occur.”

I see

“Go climb on rocks to get some cool ocean-crashing-wave shots then run back over wet, slippery rocks 5 minutes before the small land bridge gets filled in with pounding, violent waves and you are stranded waiting for imminent death”

 

Yes, as most photographers I know, I love the dangerous stuff.  Why?

Cause it usually leads to awesome photos!

Plus, I just have adrenaline issues (aka  I love the rush).

So if you have a ‘DANGER, DEATH, and POSSIBLE MAIMING’ trip or place you would like to sponsor me to go to, I’m totally game!
