Many years ago I took a picture of a ‘stretcher race’ (teams of people in costume carrying one of their ranks on a stretcher from station to station, guzzling beer at each stop). The combination of blurry photo from my instamatic camera, cigarette smoke from the person in front of me, fading daylight and all the people in crazy costumes made for a truly memorable and ‘other-worldly’ photo. Definitely my coolest photo ever!

I like the one that I took at the 1978 Long Beach Grand Prix race. Mario Andretti’s car is a blur in the background and in the foreground is a sign that says “No Skateboarding”.

Once I went to a Leaf game and got a picture of Mike Palmateer playing. He was my hero.

The coolest picture – both literally and figuratively – was of the Hubbard Glacier calving on a cold October morning. The picture was taken from the deck of a cruise ship with its engines turned off so that the sound of the falling ice was like explosions in the silence of the bay.

A picture of a young howling monkey eating berries in costa rica. The shot is within 3 feet and he was totally unconcerned I was watching him.

I found it very compelling and an engaging film about a team of photographers who risked their lives to get the photo’s they need. For their work in South Africa covering the black v black conflict and the role of the South African government in the conflict. Just my opinion.

I took a picture of my 5 year old son, doing an impression of me. To me, that photo is priceless.

DH & I went to the Atlantis shuttle launch in July of this year, and May of last year. We both got several photos of the launch. None of them really came out that well. But you asked for my coolest photo, not my best 😉

I went to Iceland about 10 years ago. The buddy of mine got on my nerves, so I took a trip up to the North Coast bymyself. As the sun was going down, I was at the harbour and took a awesome picture in black and white of a pedestrian bridge over an inlet reflecting off the water with a mountain in the background.

My infant daughter in a patch of tulips. Amazingly, the camera captured the look of sheer pleasure that she had in seeing all of the colorful flowers.

my son in motion…..on photo you could see right through him

Hope this doesn’t sound like a cop out (especially after reading all the great stories above) but it is the most honest answer I can give.
I don’t recall taking many photos but I took a trip once where I did take a bunch of photos. Traveled all around the area and off the typical sections trying to find unique things to capture. I was actually pleased with what I was doing (never done that before.. or since), had a fun time, and was really looking forward to seeing how everything came out. I even took the film to develop at a more hands on type of place rather than something cheap and quick.
It turned out the film was loaded backwards so everything was lost. There wasn’t one viewable picture in the roll.

I took a nifty picture from the second floor of a restaurant in London England. We were sitting by a window with colourful flowers and a wooden railing and looking down at all the stuff below. It was pretty cool.

When I was in the South of India in Kerela, there was a gorgeous orange sunset by the water. I still haven’t seen anything like it! I took a picture just with an average camera but it still turned out fabulous!

I took a picture of the eyes of a buffalo from two feet away as we passed it.

Two photos superimposed: one of a face and one of the ocean. It had the impression of someone looking down at what was happening on earth.
