BehindTheLens

Yesterday Ahsanti Blaize and I were working together when she had her very first fire ant encounter.

I was shooting an abandoned drug house so when she began to shriek I didn’t know what to expect.

“Something is biting me and it hurts!” she cried as she hopped on one foot and ripped off her shoe.  And there they were…the dreaded fire ant bites.  “It burns!  This is terrible!  I haven’t had anything hurt like this in a very long time” she told me.  We jumped in the live van to find the nearest drugstore but when we got on the highway she yelped in pain again.  “Another one is biting my leg!” she screamed.   So if you saw a live van driving down the road with a pair of blue jeans waving from the window yesterday, that was us.  Despite her pain, Ashanti took this photo of her foot to add to this blog.
