Have a few in the media section here: https://www.photrio.com/forum/media/users/murrayminchin.4262/Murray, Love to see the pictures. Any available?
After about 3 weeks it just becomes your new normal life. The hard part was getting ready/organizing for the trip and committing to push off the beach on day one.You are really a hero!
Didn;t the handlers know?
Handsdown the most dangerous story so far.If so, I definitely would have known.
My technique also included cultivating a nervous habit of fiddling with the advance lever all the time, so I was able to discreetly advance film.
Thanks.Nice shot.

Surreptitiously photographing in North Korea in early 1970s with handlers at my side. Used M4 with long release cable running through jacket, jacket sleeve, into jacket pocket. 28mm lense.
I wondered how you advanced the film. Did you cough to cover the click of the shutter?
What was your most dangerous photo shoot? Not as a professional, but for your passion. I mean the one where you hanging off an ice cliff and you have the voice of your spouse/partner/parent/children when they said to you "be safe." Where the inner dialogue is "Is this photo worth it if I fall/get shot/end up in a hospital in a strange land?" (Bonus if you think the photo was worth it.) (Double bonus if you share the photo.)
Here is mine (yes the question was an excuse to tell my story). I was traveling by myself on the Aran Islands off the West coast of Ireland. No one in my life knew I was on the Island, let alone that I was walking out to the 300-foot cliffs on the edge of the Island. The folks at the hostel, and the bike rental had no idea I was out there. As I stood at the edge of the cliff, with a strong upwind ready to blow me off I kept saying to myself "Do one thing at a time". Plant feet; take the lens cap off; take meter reading; compose shot; look down at where your standing; take shot....
The photo is no much to right home about.

I had pretty much the same experience up there at Dun Ducathair back in 2010.
Most dangerous? late 1970s when I was 5 years old and I started playing paparazzi with my first camera, a Polaroid.
It gained me a beating from my sister and the seizure of the camera
That day I was a real photojournalist: telling uncomfortable truths and paying the consequences for it!
By any chance........ do you still have the photos.?
Eating leopard, 5 meters, shot from the open car window, self drive in Etosha National Park, Namibia. Really not so dangerous as one can think
Much more dangerous were 2 rhinoceroses, which we locked in a chalk pit with a car, and which ran accelerating towards the car. I learned the Police reverse U-turn in a moment!

I posted those 17 years ago...self promotion has been low on my agenda since day one. Had several local one man shows and a recent show with my wife's photos, but that's about it. Don't have many finished prints left.
Looking to reinterpret old work (and produce new stuff) as polymer photogravures which should keep me busy in retirement.
jeez man... was just waxing her legs...
I learned that girls don't have a sense of humor about that, when I was older enough to have hair on my own legs I had to go to soccer practice with an hairless strip on my thigh because I didnt keep enough distance while joking
While i’d probably like to take credit for the photo’s you looked at, most of them weren’t mine! That one sure isn’t.Nice shots. The cute young blonde toddler must be all grown up now.
Then there was the time I was photographing way up in the Highlands of Scotland. I had to navigate my way through a bog. I jumped over a wet spot, then sunk up to my waste. Finally pulled myself out, losing my shorts in the process. I had to walk back to the car in my underwear.
I presume that while in Scotland's capital you avoided any issues with the Lothian and Borders Police similar to what some U.S. members have described by saying you were "Trainspotting" and just "Choosing Life" No point in trying to get away by running down Princes Street like Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy, Tommy or Spud. Not with an 8x10
