Dateline Quito, Ecuador, just after events that were alternately reported as a military coup, presidential kidnapping and/or police uprising. The streets were under military rule, so there were tons of army personnel walking around with machine guns. My co-shooter and I both thought it would be great to shoot our happy couple with a machine-gun-toting military guy, so we asked permission, and he let us pop off maybe four shots before nodding us away. Heavy post-processing makes this look almost like a composite, but it’s presented as shot.
