    Amen to all that. Knowing too many folks with chronic health problems really makes you want to do all you can to avoid a "voluntary" situation that could have very long lasting implications... Still awesome shots, but at what price!?

    He may have had a nice rich high-level health insurrance plan, that paid for his months and months of recovery...

    I'd personally have invested in a $200 dry suit rather than spend $200,000 in medical bills and 10 years off my lifespan.

    The trick is to get the shot, oh yes... But not to DIE getting it. Solve the problem, don't power through it.

    Being a dedicated photographer is a good thing, but there comes a point where you cross the line between dedication and stupidity.
