Maybe he should have asked if I’d dive into a vat of grits, shoot it, write it and appear in a video about it, but the answer would have been stayed the same. I wrote the story, edited the photos and transmitted them on the (damp, grainy) ride home. The story published in print on April 12, 2008 and the video just after.
