People offer up plenty of…questionable…excuses for not getting their annual flu vaccine.

Somewhere in the U.S. today, a child will find a loaded gun in a home. They won’t have to look hard. It will be unlocked and stored in an easily accessible place. The child will pick up the firearm, and soon enough, it will go off exactly like it’s supposed to. The bullet will strike […]
There’s a lot that goes into being a world-class extreme-sports photographer. You need a good eye, obviously, and plenty of high-quality equipment. You also need almost as much athleticism as the athletes you’re photographing.
