FE:您从火摄影开始了什么?

FE:一些更令人难忘的工作是什么?
DC3崩溃用火,位于美国加州,1976年,firefighters running through gasoline and on fire; small child being rescued and carried down ladder from apt house fire, with fire blowing out windows next to ladder, Westlake district of Los Angeles; 1st Interstate High-Rise fire, downtown LA, 1988; Truck 15 collision, eight civilians killed; Fire (Helicopter) 3 crash in Griffith Park, transporting a child trauma patient, (patient, two paramedics, one helitac crew member killed); numerous firefighter and law enforcement funerals, Major brush fires, etc.
FE:您涵盖的区域的独特之处 - 地点,消防员,危险等?
R M:洛杉矶的文化,人口统计和地形非常多样化。从城市地区的刷火到海洋救援,高层到单一家庭住宅,以及介于两者之间的一切,我们都有各种各样的紧急情况。
洛杉矶的消防部门同时提供火灾和EMSservice, many of the firefighters are dual function (operate as paramedics and fire suppression). There are over 4 million people living in the City of Los Angeles, and about 8 million in the county. Our hazards would be the high winds that push our brush fires, heavy traffic on the freeways, having major target areas such as LAX and the洛杉矶港口,,,,refineries, and earthquakes. Our weather is good most of the year. We don’t deal with the extreme cold, snow, tornadoes, or rain that annually affects the rest of the country.
FE:您的一些令人难忘的出版物是什么?
R M:多年来,我有了封面188金宝搏是正规吗来自洛杉矶市中心的Deardon的Devablyt商店大火,Glendale Metrolink Crash,最近(2014年10月)DC10使San Gabriel山区的“ Williams Fire”停滞不前。
Other covers have been onFirehouse, Straight Streams(洛杉矶县),葡萄藤(洛杉矶市)和其他紧急服务出版物。
FE: Any advice to aspiring fire photographers?
R M:了解您当地的消防/执法人员。始终尊重那些服务的人。不要太近 - 这就是远摄镜头的用途。保持眼睛和耳朵睁开,环顾四周并注意细节。上方或向下的电线,墙壁上的裂缝和移动的车辆都是业务的主要危害。避开。
The firefighters like to see pictures of their incidents–provide them. Personally, I don’t typically charge them. It’s a minor detail with potentially big reward…If they ask how much, ask them for a cup of coffee.
