I Love Golf.

Today was one of those days....I'm going to miss the Daily News....it was supposed to be a slow day. I was going to the store to get some lunch and the scanner just exploded. An accident north of town on the Interstate left two dead...it was bad. I got there to get a shot of the driver, an 83 year old man, recieving CPR in front of a life-flight helicopter. Very sad and tense...he died shortly after I began taking photos of a BGFD fireman trying to save his life. (A National Gaurd 1st Lt. platoon leader, who got back from Iraq last January, was behind the accident and pulled the man and his passenger from the burning van!). It was a hot day and it was shitty to be there.
But, I am at home after having a nice, late dinner with Christina and watching an old SNL episode (Johnny Cash hosting and Elton John singing!!!). We went for a walk, had a drink with some friends on the porch and now we're reading. Also, I shot golf this morning and the above shot is my favorite. I love golf. It's just the idea of being out there, on a hot day, doing nothing with a few others. It reminded me of the men at the accident scene; they were waiting for something to happen and stood around uncomfortably, indifferent and helpless as this 83 year old man died. Damn it. I hope you gathered that whole thought....I may have butchered it. Oh well, it's late....that's why I take pictures, I guess.
