This Photographer Will Do Anything It Takes For A Great Shot. And I Mean ANYTHING.
Ben Zank is not your average photographer. He doesn’t take photos of others’ special occasions and he doesn’t wait in the forest for the perfect shot of an unsuspecting animal. No, his work is much more unique than that.
Ben is a journalism graduate, but while in college, he realized that writing and reporting were not interesting to him. It was photography that struck him, but not in the traditional sense – so he decided to do it his own way. Most of his photos feature himself in nearly unbelievable, sometimes seemingly impossible scenarios. In his words, Ben says:
“I do whatever it takes to get the shot. I’ve been submerged in cold water, dangled between rocky crevasses and ominous wells, and trespassed countless times in order to find a good location.”
The photos prove he’s not exaggerating:
This one was taken under a sheet of ice and snow, showing just how far he will go for an extraordinary shot.
About this one, Ben said: “A really cool location in New York City that may or may not exist on the Metro North train tracks. I sometimes manipulate my photographs a lot in photoshop, but I always try to keep the photo-realistic look.”
This one required no manipulation. It’s a 15 foot manhole – he dropped a smoke bomb in and wedged his feet to the sides.
Ben dangled his camera off a 100 ft fire tower for this to get that awesome aerial perspective.
With these photos, Ben is definitely on his way to solidifying himself as a unique, if not insane, photographer. I have great respect for someone willing to go to these lengths for his passion, and others agree. He has his first solo exhibit in Brooklyn in February. Get more info about the exhibit here.

MY HEART
Tuesday, 21 January 2014
Today i arose and my heart felt so heavy, and this whole day has been folly, Emotions kept bursting up in side filled with tears that cant hide, i feel as if i am not in control of this body as if it has a mind of its own,
Quench my thirst and still my hunger
Monday, 20 January 2014
God i find my self in a space where i can no-longer see your face for my doing is a disgrace but i yearn for your unfavored grace filled the sweet fragrance of peace and comfort as you cradle me in your love than can only be given from YOU MY FATHER up above.
Lord wrap me in your love and never let me go even if the world pulls me away from you please hold onto me for the spirit is willing and able but the flesh has become weak and fragile.so lord hold me close so i can but just rest so that i may have the Strength to face another test, let me drink of your everlasting LIVING WATER so i may thirst no more and i shall have of you bread so i may hunger no more, lead me on the path of righteousness so that i can feel you eternal bliss that is ever so endless, for you mercy rains upon my every waking day like the tides break shore, and one day when i'll be no more i hope that i can knock on your door and be welcomed home.
Amen
