When I first flipped through Chapter 1 I was captured right away from the photos. There was no doubt that each one told a story, it made me very excited to read what each photo was about. My favorite photograph out of all of them was the one of the surfers who had paddled out to attend a funeral for a fellow surfer. The fact that they took it out of a helicopter was very creative and made for a great photo.
I found it very interesting that there are scanners. I always figured that they either got tipped off about situations or it was a case of “right place right time” for certain situations. I also found it interesting that some of the journalists resort to checking Twitter in the morning instead of turning on the news. Out of the whole chapter my favorite section was “Determining The Best Time To Shoot” because it gave specifics on timings and when to shoot and when not to.
