I hope the police don't see this.

this is cool Grant. The other day, not ure if you saw it, but they had a demolition on TV news where the building didn't quite actually fall...its base fell and that's it... Anyhoo...this is a cool series. I'd love to take a photo of an event like this! Cheers, :-D

Hi Grant - hey, I'm from Iowa as well! Too bad the paper didn't want these shots! Nicely done. jstrong

A little bit of both...I knew about it but forgot when it was supposed to happen. I was on call Friday night and was in the OR from 3 am until about 8. On my way back to my office, I saw a small crowd of people with cameras and asked what was going on. They told me about the demolition and I kicked myself for leaving my camera at home. BTW, I have that dream (nightmare) at least once a week-you would think I would learn. But I remembered the 1DsII in the office so I got that instead. Here is a video of the demolition: http://www.press-citizen.com/graphics/pressbox.mov I called a couple of the papers in the area to see if they wanted the pictures (for free) and they were surprisingly uninterested. Oh well... The demolition went better than this one: http://www.argusleader.com/assets/mov/DF13214123.MOV

Great opportunity Grant. Did you know about it in advance, or did you just happen to have your camera with you when you found out? Phil
