Hooray for Sports Illustrated photographer Johnny Iacono. He is being honored by the Lucie Awards committee for "Achievement in Sports." Anyone who is smacked in the jaw with a 90-mile-per-hour wild throw during a Mets game and still gets the cover has my vote. What a guy!
While I'm on a Strange kick, a few years later during a Red Sox world series game, John's long lens accidentally whacks a guy from Laguna (that's my hood) in the neck. The "victim" sues, claiming John and his equipment were perched in a dangerous position and the telephoto blow resulted in serious vision problems. Double Ouch.
Note for those of you interested in becoming news photographers: Here is a good ethics question thread on the SportsShooter boards. We sure don't want to see anymore retouched goal posts, now do we?
