This is just an absurd photo to me, and I was initially thinking what would compel someone to want a photo like this?
And then upon furthering pondering, how many of us can say we've seen a building completely engulfed in flames (No, do not leave a comment invoking the numbers 9 and 11) in person? I haven't. And if I did see something like that take place then being the jackass that I am, the first thing I'd do is hand my camera to a busy firefighter and ask her (see what I did there?) to snap a photo of me and my friends in front of the flame engulfed structure.
How do I know I'd do this? When I was visiting Korea some years ago, our tour bus got into a small car accident. I immediately hopped off the bus and posed in front of the bus's dented bumper. Stupid = Me.
