Inspired but Undecided

Now that's journalism. Look at that dedication. #Cantstopwontstop. 

It was just another day in the field for reporter Toya Chiba when he was swept away by the tsunami that hit Japan in April. Chiba was reportedly pulled by rushing waters into the Owatari River. A little water wasn't enough to stop Chiba. In the face of disaster, Chiba continued snapping photos. How many people could you find in this world  who would be caught in the middle of a flash flood taking photographs? Probably one. Toya Chiba, everyone. Screw the camera, I would have been stuck to the top of that white car like a starfish. Chiba survived the incident with a few scars. Despite his heroic efforts, the photos he took that day didn't even have a chance; his camera had water damage. Go figure. The effort was there, though, and that should count. Somebody give this guy a raise.
