Description I always neglected to upload this shot. I shot it on the worst form of transportation I've ever been in, last summer in the island of Kimolos. Privately owned minibus, going 80 km on a horrible dirt road. I'm actually flying midair during this shot and banging the camera on the front seat there right after. Always the same guy as a driver (and owner etc), complete prick with every one. One day, even, while waiting for the bus to come with some other people, someone from the village told us that the driver had gone to Athens for the weekend...

great story..reminds when i was traveling with a bus like that in south Africa. I was traveling for 8 hours in a mini bus full of people and goats. a baby was sleeping on my legs and another one, the older one, was trying to grap my camera and "play " with it. The worst started at midday when the tempreture was +35C. and the goats started to feel hot...
