[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 25746, member: 1746"] Ah, no. Cameras and cell phones are not allowed on the "field". Under the right conditions the Squib's (Electronic Detonators) we use may go off with radio frequencies from cell phone. Cameras are not allowed due to insurance reasons. Believe or not in the case of a mishap that was caused on our part during set up, a camera can document it and an Insurance company would have to pay out a large claim because of it. Is their way of covering themselves? I also have to work my regular job on the forth. I been doing this for 20 years or so, and after over 100 shows I still have all my body parts attached where they belong. I have had quite a few close call stories I can tell you but I won't. I have not shot (worked) a show in three years now for one reason or another and I'm sitting on the sidelines once again this year. The Fourth of July (Fireworks in general I should say) is a very sore subject with me thanks to my ex-wife's meddling :mad:, so I wouldn't hold your breath for seeing any photo's from me anytime soon. Didn't mean to give you my life story, just want you all to know I will not be partaking in any Fireworks festivities / photos and why. [/QUOTE]
