Justice against the media? Maybe. I'm sure you remember this pic being plastered all over the internet. The guy falling out of the ski lift and dangling by his Blackberry plants in front of the whole world.
Well...the photographer Marty Odem, who works for a company that shoots pics of skiers at Vail Mountain ski lifts says he's already been suspended over the pics and believes he'll probably get fired over the incident. The photo company says that the images violate the skier's privacy. No kidding?
Odom wrote on a snowboarding website that he took the pictures on his day off and was carrying his own camera. Even with the threat of losing his job, Odem claims "the photo is worth it."
That begs the question...is this really against the skier's privacy? I suppose it depends on if this is a private, or a public resort maybe? Either way...you gotta believe that this would piss you the hell off if someone snapped that pic and posted it on every news site out there wouldn't you?
