If you're ever photographing a group of people on a dock or pier, be sure the structure can support the full weight of your subjects.

When I began this process, my images were fairly tame. I assumed that mainstream and technically-correct images were better than free-form zaniness.
The Rogers Photo Archive is the largest privately held collection of still photos in the world.

Forget the electronic line judge or the slow motion review by the refs, professional Ukrainian tennis player Sergiy Stakhovsky decided to take matters into his own hands when a line call didn't go his way in the French Open on Monday.
