Default Photographer mentality

So I was just Stumbling across the internets and landed on some blogpost with weird/funny pictures. There was this photo of a dude flying off his bmx. Nothing new about that but then I focused on the people by the side watching and everyone of them has that "Oh shiiiiiiiit!" face on... everyone but the person with the camera. :D He's probably thinking "Thank god I brought my camera today."



Or at least that's what I would've thought. How about you?

Nothing like being in the right place at the right time!
Not that I want the guy to get hurt, but I also don't feel much sympathy.

I would thank him for the photo op though!

This kind of thing happens to me all the time at the race track, a couple of us will be standing around talking in the infield and an accident will happen right next to us and everyone of us except one will just watch, the one who doesn't gets it but it is always a different person everytime. Last night I got one and missed another this way.

It could also quite be a staged composite. Neat photo, at any rate. Jared (candleman) did a cool one here a while back: Epic fail !!!
