For all the
words I used trying to describe my ride on Flatbed One,
Jerry Wolford summed it up in a single frame. Actually, I bet the
News & Record photographer popped off more than
one shot as he lay in front of that puddle of standing water. I myself watched him recline there
for a good ten minutes, before turning my attention back to the jumbo jet in question. While I transmitted pictures that dissipated on impact, he triggered an image that'll last forever. The nerve
of that guy...

I myself have thought, on more than one occasion, that Wolford has a lot of fuckin' nerve being that talented.
Slinger... could you point out on this photo, who's who on "flatbed 1?" And, for those of us who are "focally-challenged" is this unusual to get such close up precendence? How far from the plane are you? That is a terrific picture.
jelly's my boy!
I would not be shocked to hear that Jelly had spent hours in mud puddle to get a shot.
I was once with him at Furniture Market and saw him spend nearly two hours crawling on the floor, hanging off of desks and deflecting light with notebooks and cardboard to get the PERFECT shot of a desk and a flat-screen television. He must have taken a hundred or more shots. The man is dedicated.
Seeing the low occupancy on the press platform is a real indication of lame-duck status!
Or it could just be that's all the stations in the area. It wasn't any more packed the day I rode it a few years ago.
