Good that he can laugh it off, I suppose!

... and yeah. If I had an office, I'd get it mounted on the wall with a caption "In The Line Of Duty".

What a sad picture, at least his lens survived. Anyone know what the body of the mark 11 is made from?

I would frame it and hang it on the wall.. amazing part of the story is that the camera still "clicks".
