So I got this email today, it's a photographer photographing another photographer. And I think this dumb cunt, doesnt want to live anymore. Watch this dumb cunt almost kill himself.

I have quoted the entire email below, so you can see how crazy he is ;)

I've been an amateur/semi professional photographer for 55 years,
have taken


tens of thousands of pictures in a multitude of circumstances but
never


had this guys Chutzpah !!!








This is a case of photographer photographs photographer. The
following photographs were taken

by photographer Hans van de Vorst at the Grand Canyon, Arizona.
The descriptions are his own.

The identity of the photographer IN the photos is unknown.





I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock
IN the Grand Canyon .

The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is
next to the canyon and safe.

Watching this guy on his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod
I asked myself 3 questions:

1. How did he climb that rock?
2. Why not taking that sunset picture on that rock to the right,
which is perfectly safe?
3. How will he get back?





This is the point of no return.





After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things
(having only one hand available)

And prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes.

At that point he had the full attention of the crowd.

After that, he jumped on his thong sandals...
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here.

Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to
land lower, which is quite steep

And tried to use his one hand to grab the rock.





We've come to the end of this little story. Look carefully at the
photographer.

He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his
shoulder or in his left hand.

Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of
his stuff is a problem.

He lands low on this flip flops both his right hand and right foot
slips away...
At that moment I take this shot.

He pushes his body against the rock.

He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs
and walks away.


And now for some crazyness

Pictures of a Fearless Photographer at The Grand Canyon-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor:
A series of pictures showing a man taking photographs atop a steep rock at the Grand Canyon then jumping from the rock to a nearby ledge when he is finished. The eRumor says the photos are real and from a photographer named Hans Van de Vorst.
The Truth:
The pictures are authentic, but there is a little more to the story than the pictures show.

Hans Van de Vorst is a photographer from the Netherlands and posted the photos on Flikr.com. Whoever started the eRumor used them without permission and Van de Vorst has declined to let us post them. You can CLICK HERE for that link.

It is a sequence of pictures that Van de Vorst took of a tourist at the Grand Canyon who was standing on a small rock atop a column of rocks with a camera on a tripod and taking pictures of a sunset. Nearby in the picture is the edge of a cliff from which he apparently jumped and to which he will need to once again jump when he's finished. The pictures, and the narrative with the pictures, leave the impression that the drop between the column of rocks and the cliff was 900 meters (nearly 3,000 feet) to the bottom of the canyon. In reality, however, there is shelf between them that is out of sight below what is seen in the picture. If the tourist had missed the cliff, he would have dropped to that shelf. It is still a death-defying act for him, however, because the drop from the front or either side of the rock is to the bottom of the canyon and even hitting the shelf safely is a risk. Van de Vorst said that he did not intend to hide the shelf. From where he was watching the tourist the shelf was not visible and he did not know of it until a later time.

The daredevil has never been identified. Van de Vorst says he has no idea who the guy is. Anybody know who he is---and wants to admit it?

Hehe. Like the made up background story of the picture would give this badly photoshopped picture authenticity.

Good one.

this is a normal thing, you wouldnt believe the things photographers will do... I seen one video and a Fireworks warehouse was on fire, something like 900 people were injured... Most photographers were on roof tops, but they noticed one guy, down with the firefighters with a camera... crazy fucker.... needless to say another warehouse was packed with fireworks and went off and 3 photographers were injured (the person i just mentioned was blow 50' from the building and died!)
