Please Stay In The Upright Position

Whether you are some prep walk, a politician in trouble with the government, or a type of march (pictured above) a photographer will eventually have to walk backwards to get the shot you need. Trust me it is not as easy as it looks since one little uneven crack can send you and your camera tumbling to the pavement plus earn you a spot on someone’s blooper reel. How do we do it? How is it that we somehow managed to get eyes in the back of our heads? Years of experience perhaps? Knowing where the level ground is? Maybe we’ve honed our knowledge of The Force. Honestly I have no idea why we don’t fall over more often. Just glad I kept upright during this interview. It’s not a good feeling when you hit the cold pavement.
