Ahhh, but imagine the kind of pictures I'd be able to take. The abandoned city of Pripyat, left exactly as it was almost twenty years ago... My last pictures of abandoned places already earned me publishing them in the press, and a photoreporter's license.
Even National Geographic would fellate me for good pictures of Chernobyl.
I understand there are organized lead suit trips, with guides equipped with geiger counters, inside the zone, and it would be even easier to get a pass mentioning I'm from the press or something along those lines. Hmmm.
