It's not uncommon for a photographer/ writer duo to attack stories together, spending days on end trapped in a car, eating romantic dinners sans significant others and trying to sell each other to the locals. I often travel with Senior Editor, Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon. We keep each other entertained.
Here's the inside scoop though. Dave claims she rides along to "report stories" and "speak in full sentences," but we all know there's a greater purpose. She and her almost 5 foot frame are there solely for my protection. Yep. Her car dancing and karaoke skills are a thinly veiled disguise for a greater duty: keeping me out of trouble.
After seeing her patented "crouching squirrel, dangling dragon" maneuver on that limb there, I'm surprised fellow beachgoers at Port Antonio, Jamaica's Frenchman's Cove aren't begging me for protection. So next time you see a Greaves-Gabbadon/ Stovall byline, picture this spry little woman and the sacrifices she's made to keep the story on track.
