Moments before this series of photos was taken Globe photographer David Ryan himself slipped and fell on the ice, damaging one of his cameras. He was photographing the scene of his own accident when this gentleman began his fall.

I better watch my back.  Because everyday the Globe is becoming more and more like the Stool.  I mean while I was busy breaking the Lucky getting fired story, the Globe was making fun of people falling on ice.   Hey that's my territory! I ain’t mad at them though because this is exactly what I’d do if we had photographers on the payroll.  Just scope out the slipperiest places in Boston and let the madness begin.    My only question is whether this photographer told the dude that he was going to light him up like this?   Seems like a pretty good way to get your ass kicked if you ask me. Seriously can you imagine what the guy who shot people the other day would have done if you tried to take his picture?   Yikes. Still this story deserves a Pulitzer.

PS - This photographer can cut the shit with this whole he just happened to be there when this guy went down routine. Give me a break. He was locked and loaded waiting for this to happen.
