Este fotograful din spatele celebrei poze cu femeia afgană pe care o vedeţi jos - ştiu că o cunoaşteţi. Desigur, uşor frustrant, dincolo de ea omul are o întreagă carieră şi operă fotografică.

I was photographing this amazing event (Festivalul Ganesh Chaturthi în Bombay - MD) on the last evening of the
festival about twenty minutes after sunset, illuminating the scene with
my flash and standing in chest-deep water. Suddenly out of nowhere, a
group of drunken revelers came over and started pounding me, grabbed my
camera which was around my neck and pulled the camera and my head under
water. I stopped worrying about my camera, and started thinking about
the possibility of drowning. My assistant, who was in the water nearby,
had virtually all the rest of my equipment. He was also thrown under
the water and beaten up. To add to my misfortune, I had borrowed a
lens from a friend, Hoshi Jal, who is a Senior Assistant Photo Editor
at the Times of India and who has photographed this festival over many
years. His lens was also lost.
Eventually, one man came to my rescue and helped escort me back to
the beach. I felt lucky to be alive at that point. I got back to my
hotel room and dried to dry off my equipment with the hair dryer and
called the National Geographic technical department.
