27-DEC-2005 Catman

Escape was his plan - Catman 4th place

captured was his condition

He he was cornered in the lake that I live on after he had removed his prison jumpsuit, ran away from his street repair crew, and was on his way to "punish" a witness to his crime.
The ironic part to this story is that he had only one more month to serve in county jail. dah

This escape attempt added six months to his jail sentence.

I must have looked at this shot 50 times! It sure gives one some mixed emotions. What a powerful scene Richard. Guess this guy was a brick short of a fireplace. Glad they caught him.

Hmmm, I wonder what he did? He looks like he's given up hope. Excellent human drama.

Talk about photojournalism! This is a great shot.

Poor guy's in his skivvies. I'm wondering what he expected to accomplish.

I'm also thinking, how would this look if you cropped out almost all of the man at right, standing up, and just framed the kneeling cop and the prisoner ... ?
