Risky Photography, Part 1
Some photos are taken at significantly more risk than others. Standing in the middle of Sepulveda Boulvard in Los Angeles is risky enough. Aiming a camera at a commercial airliner, closeup, might also get you harrassed by the airport cops. If you stand 100 feet underneath a Boeing 777 on approach with full flaps extended, you have about three seconds left before you'll nearly be knocked off your feet by the downwash.
All three factors came into play with this shot, so I hope you enjoy it. It's all part of my service to you, the loyal blog reader.
