Getting close to the action

Often times a photojournalist is lucky enough to shoot an event where he can get right up next to the action. Such was the case today (as you can so obviously tell from the gunk on my lens). I had a good time photographing the kids of Just Us Kids Outdoors as the slid down a hill at Glen Miller Park with the assistance of one of the Richmond Fire Department's fire truck and water hose.






And of course, last, but certainly not least, the frame that I thought was going to kill my camera. Fortunately, my camera is a durable beast and survived the blast. Now it just needs a little (lot) of cleaning.
