You are so right Tom...I actually discussed this with him after he warmed up to me and lost his arrogance. I said I would not want to do this professionally as it would take my joy out of it. Maybe the only type of photography I would enjoy doing on a pro level would be car racing.F-1 and CART. I have done that as a helper for two years on the CART circuit and it was fascinating.More than that....was unfriggin-believable.Dangerous though.Almost got hit from debris off a crashing car...had Micheal Andretti knock me over when he ran into the barrier wall I was propped up on...got soaking wet standing behind a tire wall....those tires get water in them after a rain.Plus you get covered in rubber and oil, being so close to the cars. Watching a car coming at you straight on at 180 plus miles per hour through a lens is one heck of a sensation.You hope they know when to turn.
