    Don't they have hospitals in Europe where they can do this? WHy did he have to fly all the way back to the U.S. from Afghan? They might have been able to save his foot if not for the long flight back.

    You know the xkcd that shows the difference between a scientist and a regular person? The regular person pulls a lever, gets electrocuted, and then walks away, but the scientist pulls it again to see if it happens every time? This kinda reminds me of that: the regular person screams in agony, but the photographer takes the once in a lifetime opportunity for some amazing shots.

    A 5D Mark II? I've got even more respect for him now!

    Seriously though, that's really great. Photography sure can bring out the dedication in people.

    @Shamoononon, Vampire Grater: Macro shot on the ground. I've set tripods up like that, though I never had anyone hold me like that... just got down in the dirt and propped myself up on the ol' elbows.

    i wonder why the dude in the split third photo didn't just bend over and look back between his legs. that is some great teamwork, though.

    Does the gal in the first photo have a massive badonkadonk ass to counterbalance all that dead camera weight or something?

    For shots over-the-heads of crowds, I have done exactly what you see in the 3rd gallery photo, using a monopod fully extended. You can't usually see what you are getting, so you have to (a) learn to aim remotely and (b) take a LOT of shots to get something usable.


    For a quick camera stabilizer, I used to do what the woman in the last gallery pic is doing, but instead turned to using the afore-mentioned monopod when I ran out of living children.

    Crap crap crap crap crap. All this digital BS looks the same. Where is Ansel Adams? Cindy Sherman? Alfred Steiglitz, Edward Weston, William Eggleston, Edward Muybridge, Imogen Cunningham, John Sexton, Edward Burtynsky, Andreas Gursky, Annie Liebovitz. THOSE are photographers that everyone should know.

    @Zach Morin: I disagree. Having the technology to manipulate images does not necessarily diminish their substance. For instance, LOTR is a masterpiece of cinematography, but could not possibly have been filmed in 1950. It is only when you rely on computer imagery alone that you get a crappy product, like the Fantastic Four or Transformers movies.
