Crazy Photographer
How far are you willing to go, for that perfect shot?
Quote From "LiveLeak.com"
"This is the heart-stopping moment a daring photographer leapt between two rocky outcrops over the Grand Canyon - with drop of nearly a mile beneath him.A crowd of onlookers gasped in horror as the man -who was wearing flimsy flip-flops - risked his life to capture a stunning shot of the Arizona sunset.Minutes earlier, the unknown daredevil had been casually sunbathing on a rock column.He had already made the leap once to get to the smaller rock - although that act of daring went unwitnessed.Once there, he made the most of it by downing a six-pack of beer while relaxing on the outcrop for several hours.
However, as sunset approached, a crowd of tourists gathered and watched as the man took a perfect shot of the canyon.To their astonishment, he then simply tucked the camera and tripod under his arm and leapt back across the 8ft gap.He grasped hold of the opposing rock face with just one hand and momentarily lost his grip before climbing to safety.

Although it wasn't an 8' jump, I did jump out to one of those columns on a visit to the Grand Canyon in college. Yeah, it was like a mile down. Not something I would repeat...
