I have a confession - I really enjoy assassin movies. You know those movies where the protagonist is a highly-skilled, ultra-focused, near infallible villain. Maybe it’s a guilty pleasure - or an excuse to eat popcorn.

On my return flights from the Oregon Coast, I rewatched some of the John Wick films. I also saw one of my favorites, The Hitman, again recently. That got me wondering… why do I like these movies so much?

Well… as you might guess, the answer has an intersection with my photography. Four connections, actually.

• Disciple and rigor

• Knowing your gear

• Improvising in the field

• Revealing the unseen world
