Default New Year's Day assignment
Had a great day shooting the 26th Annual Polar Bear Jump. Over 300 flung themselves off the bridge into the chilly Olalla Lagoon carry on the New Year's Tradition. This was the 14th time I've covered this event, but I was only crazy enough to jump myself for the first time three years ago. https://webgate.epa.eu//index.php?SE...picture_of_day

I think I'd just prefer to stand next to the cozy fire, thank you.

The fire was anything but cozy.......it was hotter than hell, so folks could dry off quickly.

I watched your photos on your site and those are really amazing.......

While people were busy partying in welcoming of new year, we were busy in photographing Dubai. And below is one of the pics.
We were caught by CID in taking these pictures as he claimed that photographying without permission is prohibited. Somehow we managed the show and were forced to quickly finish our session.

I do not know if this picture is eligible to be here or vis a vis as it is also appearing in Assignments section.
