If the internet was only able to find photo’s of cute animals I would still deem it a huge success. That you can do so much more and find the world’s cutest animals is totally a bonus. I am not in my City of Angels today, I have a shoot in San Francisco, I am not shooting just supervising which is a little bit of a problem that my photographer has missed his flight and there’s not another one until 6 p.m. He was already denied two stand-by flights and I am getting pretty nervous about now. I had to leave the shoot location and find a place to procure extra buttery sourdough toast, find a cute animal to post and try not to run into oncoming traffic. I don’t have a back up plan. The Fancy said I should just do the shoot, but I don’t feel confident that I can. I have never set up lights before but with the trusty ol’ interwebs I just may be able to Google it and see if I can figure it out. I am not very good at following directions though. Well, we still have the cutest pup ever as a conciliation prize, the day is not a total failure.
Dude, you can TOTALLY rock that shoot. Dive in and do it! This is a great opportunity!!
Can you wrangle a last minute lighting assistant?
I’m reading this book about our lives being a story or screenplay, and that most of us need an inciting event in order to move forward and overcome whatever obstacle we are meant to in order to achieve our true passion/talent/life, etc., just like a character in a movie.
Maybe this is your inciting event. :)
Oh wow, how cute!
Eeep, good luck with the shoot!
Thank you ladies, you are so very encouraging! I like the idea of an inciting moment, but alas I don’t believe this is mine. More like I may have incited a nervous breakdown.
I’m in SF! Did the photographer show up? What are you shooting?
You just might save the day! Always remember, if you’re not nervous about what you’re doing, that’s something to worry about! Can’t wait for the details!
Jessica I wish you could have saved me, but alas the photographer showed up and ROCKED the tilt shift lens. Sometimes a lens REALLY makes a difference. Who knew?
