What is a Camera Totin' Idiot, and what does he do?

He stands in a damp, dark tunnel with a 5,000 ton freight train bearing down on him.

He stands in a caboose in the Virginia Transportation Musem for half an hour, waiting for the tourists to get out of his way so he can get his shot.

Sometimes he just gets lucky.

Sometimes he has to be patient. I shot this barn a dozen times before I got the picture I wanted.

Did I mention a little luck is involved? The people who own this art studio were selling Christmas trees. While Goody Two Shoes was paying for the tree and getting the grand tour of the studio I braved the cold for this shot.
