I've escaped it but have had to talk harshly to a few cameramen to prevent it. I may even have used bad language.
I think I'm off their Christmas list.
I got caught on camera numerous times while on legend but there was naff all I could do about it apart from try to cover my face by scratching my face and all the other dodgy tricks when caught short.
Good luck Dick, stay out of the way of the bullets.

My Great Uncle was shot by a ME109 in WW2. He was a tail gunner in a langcaster bomber.
OHHHH....you have the same fate don't you?
He was shot by a cannon and you were shot by a camera.

I was shot by some Iraqi sniper in '91...lucky he was a crap shot....got me clean through the leg..hurt like hell...left most of my upper thigh out there.
All healed now though....only left with a hell of a scar and a dodgy limp....and a few nightmares.

was photographed many times in Chechnya and my face has been on TASS news a few times. Was interviewed on NTV news after Dubrovka siege but keep face mask on so people not see me! many news reporters came to Chechnya looking for story. Many find death
