Death, Devistation, Canon 1D Mark II

I will set the scene for you. You are a reporter / photographer. You have in your hands one of the finest pieces of Digital Photography equipment every mass produced, The Cannon 1D Mark II. You have some of the best lenses canon makes. You are on Christmas vacation in Phuket, Thailand.

The Biggest Tsunami in hundreds of years hits your beach. Do you Run or Do you take the picture of a lifetime?

This guy took the Picture

This image ran on front of both major Sydney newspapers today. That's a rare event. The Sydney Morning Herald ran it full page bleed ( which is also very rare), with just a headline " wave of devastation". The Thai gentleman in the imaged survived.

Check out the rest of his pictures.
