    This means that each photographer is carrying up to $42,289 in Canon gear in their 50lb bag when covering one of the sporting events.

      You're right Ian I'm surprised they used this shot of my spare room.

      It funny as I've been in contact with Focus images about doing some freelance sports photography for them.
      But their requirements are still a little out of my reach,I will need 2 pro body's 1dx or D4s / 70-200f2.8 plus 400f2.8 laptop with FTP server connections photo mechanic software.

      So I think i will have to build up to these requirement before i contact them again!No such problems for Getty staff though just help yourselves to whatever you want.

            What.... no anti-stab vest, sawn off shotgun or hard hat to protect you from hairy arsed transvestites swinging brick laden pink handbags.

            Channel Nine crew attacked by a transvestite with pink handbag in Rio
            http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3709840/Channel-Nine-crew-attacked-transvestite-brick-pink-handbag-hours-touched-Rio.html
            A transvestite carrying what is thought to be a brick in a pink handbag tried to rob Channel Nine reporter Christine Ahern and her TV crew at Copacabana beach in Rio last Thursday.


            Interesting they never went for the 1DX2, but the original.
