Fatal House Fire -3 imgs

Van Isle

I didn't know it was a fatal until the following morning: 2 dead, five injured. All university students.

The fire was a few houses up the street from my girlfriends house. Lots of sirens at 4:30 AM. I couldn't sleep, grabbed the camera, the 18-200, the 50 1.8, the SB 800 illumo-gun, and the humm-pod (manfrotto 055NAT3 in army green)

2 hours later I came back and tried to sleep.







It's a weird feeling, isn't it? Sorta guilty, sorta wish I had got better photos, for the news, for the families?

Thanks for sharing your feelings about shooting scenes like this.

It is sad that it ended the way it did. Not a good place for a camera, hope you didn't change lenses to often.
