Plate 16 – Sitting on the Edge of the World
by admin
This is by far the craziest and the most dangerous photo I have ever taken in my life. Brandon is sitting on the edge of the Dead Horse Point in Moab, Utah, and if he was to fall, he was to fly about 2,000 feet down. I often get asked how we took this. It was really simple. We were hanging out at this place, and Brandon said to me, “hey, let’s do this”, and then sat down on this little edge while I fired away. He then asked me to take a turn, and I had to pass. Why? I already had the shot I liked. He also told me his high school buddy once did a hand stand on that ledge. I guess there are crazier possibilities.
