Yes Scott, it is a little ghoulish. But the demand is there, so why not. I'm not crashing the plane, starting the fire or rolling the SUV on the freeway ... I'm just shooting pictures. P.S.

That's where these agencies earn thier money, they are on the phone with all the big papers and magazines the moment you upload your photo (assuming it's a huge strory). I just signed up for Scoopt. I always have my cameras with me and I drive around with my scanner on sometimes, as a result I often get newsworthy pix.... we'll see what happens. Interesting article.
