Log truck roll overs are not uncommon in this depressed little logging town. This is the first one I have gone to photograph. I know some of these would have sold if the local paper had not sent their own reporter to cover it.
I contacted a regional paper about buying these and they told me that they do not buy pictures from other photojournalists. King 5 news liked the pictures and encouraged me to send them more pictures in the future but said they would not be buying my pictures today.
I was happy enough with my slow 200mm lens for this job. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the zoom range it's been so long since I used my long lens. I had really gotten used to only being able to zoom in to 50mm. The 70-200mm f/2.8 is still just a distant dream. I would be nice to have for photographing my kids soccer games though.
In the mean time I have booked a wedding gig.
