Not every 'Behind The Door' excursion ends in success. But if there isn't enough content to piece together a video I know my years of photographic experience and expertise will result in a few good photos to make up for it... right? Wrong!
My attempt to capture the freighter Herbert C Jackson coming in off the lake at 3:30 in the morning was a lesson in humility, a cavalcade of self-inflicted errors that left me with nothing but embarrassment and loss. I thought it important to pull back the curtain on this and show you why.
