A professional ski photographer who took snapshots of a middle-aged skier left dangling half nude from a Blue Sky Basin chairlift could lose his job.

Marty Odom, a photographer for SharpShooter Imaging, said Wednesday that he is trying to save his job but when asked whether he'll be able to do so he said, "I don't think so."

But in a posting to a snowboarding website, Odom wrote that "the photo is worth it."

Don't click here unless you actually want to see the photos. They're not pretty.

I don't know about losing his job, but those pictures are a bit humiliating. I imagine it would be a little scary to be trapped like that.

bmattock,
Have you really got nothing better to do with your time?

Et toi?
I seem to recall an old saying regarding a pot saying something to a kettle about the colour black.

I dont think taking a photo like this on his freetime should have anything to do with his job.

butt, butt... uh... oh, never mind.

You see me posting links to newspaper articles with no relevance to RF photography?

True enough - but I went looking for a recent thread on German made vaporizers and surprisingly it's "disappeared" (whether by the OP or by a mod).. and that thread actually had images from an M8 ... I wonder what happened to that thread.... hmmmmmmmmm

Curious,
Dave

In this case, he may be losing his job because someone IS an ass...his boss, I would suggest.

Poor guy. That skier must have felt terrible.

I don't know about you but I don't think my butt would have been that clean while hangin' if you know what I mean.

Well, I think s/he should be fired! These photos missed the decisive moment, lack composition and there is zero eye contact with the subject.
