I was trying to take some different shots from different angles and also some zoom shots to see how they turned out since it was a pretty active fire scene. The same picture that you like is my favorite. I actually did zoomed in on that on purpose to show the fire flaring in front of his eyes like that to show how dangerous the profession is. The Fire Chief liked this one so much he asked if he could use it with the press release. I said yes, and the next day it was front page. My dad was a firefighter for 12 years and my brother still is a firefighter-paramedic (currently on 12 years). Only bad part of being the dept. photographer, unwritten bylaw that if you make it in the media you have to buy for the shift (ice cream, or cake, or pizza, or pie). Thank You for your input.
