Have you seen a limousine?

Blog Guy, I continue to read all of your posts about photojournalism. I’ve mastered your stuff on shooting groups, luggage, shoes, handshakes and stairs. What else makes for great news photography?

Well, now we’re into the stuff that only a handful of the best shooters know, but I think you’re ready.

I’m SO excited! Hit me!

Start snapping politicians getting out of limos.

You’re serious?

I’m always serious. Look, readers want to know if politicians use the door, or wriggle out through the sunroof or what. Plus, when you have enough folks coming through car doors, you can do a combo, like this one showing every man in Germany.

Awesome! It kind of looks like the opening credits of that TV show “Entourage.”

Yeah? Then they stole it from ME!

Celebrate absurdity! Join the Oddly Enough blog network!

“No longer do you have to search for a rest stop on the freeway or hear, “He’s full of it” while walking into your appointed position.”

There’s big money to be made there, obviously, teaching these guys how to do it elegantly - maybe one of those people who teach finishing-school girls how to get out of sports cars without showing their knickers might like the job…
