Just the right shot: John Roberts

For the photographers, it's a little bit like a red-carpet gig. You wait and wait and wait, and finally your moment comes to shoot the target: in this case, Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, leaving the Penobscot Bay Medical Center in Rockport, Maine, after suffering a seizure.

AP photographer Robert F. Bukaty was on the scene when Roberts finally emerged, giving eager photographers about four seconds to capture the news in an image.

Is it a lot of pressure?  Bukaty describes his assignment today in this audio clip.
