Cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes and erupting volcanoes are a source of terror to most people, but to fearless photographer Geoff Mackley they are 'the greatest show on earth'. Whenever such disasters occur - practically anywhere on earth - he will be one of the first people on the scene. In the last two decades, Christchurch-born Mackley has carved out a reputation as a leading international filmmaker and photographer of extreme natural disasters. His film footage regularly leads news broadcasts on CNN and other worldwide networks. His incredible exploits were the subject of the major 2004 Discovery Channel series Dangerman, numerous other television shows have featured his efforts to get 'the best shot', and he has been written up in more than forty magazine and newspaper stories. In this autobiography, Geoff Mackley tells his remarkable story - from growing up in New Zealand to becoming an international TV celebrity - to leading writer John McCrystal. The large-format work includes many of Mackley's most daring and brilliant photographs, and the stories of how he got them.
