Not far away. He gets to see a lot of things (through a lens) but really not for me.
His vehicles either had heavily blacked out windows or simply drove at very high speed to stop photographers from getting a picture. After a few close misses I began to see it as a personal challenge to get a decent shot, so I prepared myself to run after the car in the hope that it would hit traffic at some point. Thankfully it did, and I got a frame before collapsing into a wheezing heap.
No thank you.

To do it to a high standard time after time must be hard, so much competition from pro`s and amateurs all after that key shot.
