Rachael's mom Deb was one of the coolest moms I've ever known. She succumbed to cancer in December and I was honored to be a pallbearer at her funeral in my hometown. After the services were over...
At 5:30pm, I went back to my hotel and was picked up in a van and taken to the Luxor bus station to wait for my bus to Hurghada. Got to watch the sun set over the fields in front of the Nile.
These girls were cute tourists from, er, somewhere in Asia and Tim The Cap'n sauntered over and offered to take a picture of them in the sunset with their camera. After he did that, he suggested that I take a photo of the three of them with my camera. If it had been a scene in Swingers, it most definitely would have been described as "Money." (He even managed a disco point and a Blue Steel.)
After we'd finished climbing around on the rocks, I suggested a jumping photo! Right after I'd taken this one, a guy walking by on the beach saw what we were doing and offered to man the camera so that I could be in the shot to!
I showed him my camera and explained how you have to time it to compensate for the slight shutter delay, and this is what he shot on his very first attempt! Well done, sir!
