      I was wearing chest waders so I could get right in the mud. My oldest camera was in a 2.5 gallon ziplock bag with a hole for the lens (with filter!), duct-taped in place, another hole for the eyepiece, again duct-taped. Kind of unwieldy, especially when you're writing down kids' names in my notebook, which I dropped in the mud. Twice.
      The Free Press and News shooters are wusses. They stood at the edge with long lenses, cringing whenever some kid started throwing mud. Here's the gallery:

      - what a great series of images. with all of that mud, i wonder how many kids sneaked out a poop much akin to peeing in the pool. that sort of behavior could be coined 'mud day terrorism'.

      sounds like you went through a lot to get that pic but it was well worth it. great shot! You really got right in there.

      Mark, it's the only way. Working up close with a wide-angle gives a real intimate point of view (OK, and some distortion, too). Shoot the same scene with a tele and it's like you're watching it through glass or on a screen.
