Why photographers live longer

Black Bear Pass is the road between Telluride and Silverton, CO. My friend Mark has done this road with his wife (she is still married to him). We were discussing the 4-wheel drive road up to the summit Mt. Antero and I asked him about this road. He said, "Yes, I've done that and it was pretty intense. I remember being really focused."  Hello! In the photo below I can tell exactly what's going on. The passenger said, "oh this is cool. I think I'll get out and take a photo!" That's why photographers live longer.

By the way, if you have to get towed on this road it will cost you into the thousands! I read that in 2002, seven vehicles slipped into the abyss!
