My daughter Margaret claims that when I have a camera in my hands, I insist that getting the shot is more important than life and limb. I don’t remember ever saying you have to “Get the Shot, no matter what” but she claims I always did.
While in Norway, Debra, Emma and I went on a white-water raft trip. Emma and I both took a GoPro. Emma dutifully attached hers to her chest, I thought I’d hold mine in one hand to get more interesting videos.
When we hit the first big rapids, I wanted to video Emma and Debra’s face as we crashed through the white water. I guess I was supposed to be paddling though. We turned into a wave and I was thrown from the raft. But as you can see from the sequence below, I tried my best to “Get the Shot”
Sadly, I lost the GoPro in the excitement and never got to see any of the video. They should make those darned cameras float.
