Photographer's Humor

Thanks to my friend Shari for passing this one along...

A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene was too thick to get any good shots, so she frantically called her home office to hire a plane.

"It will be waiting for you at the airport!" she was assured by her editor.
As soon as she got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a plane was warming up near the runway.

She jumped in with her equipment and yelled, "Let's go! Let's go!"
The pilot swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air.

"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make
three or four low level passes." 

"Why?" asked the pilot. 

"Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer, and
photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great
exasperation. 

After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're not the instructor?"
