Isolated locations, slippery and uneven surfaces and the unpredictable nature of the ocean, makes rock fishing the most dangerous sport in Australia. In just eight years, between 1992 and 2000, 74 people drowned while rock fishing just in New South Wales and the numbers are consistently high right around the country.
Rock photography shares some of the same risks.
and, sadly, the very last photograph you will see from this particular camera …
The photographer escaped almost unscathed. I was fond of that camera.
