It started off simple enough. Get there beforehand, find the sweet spots and check all my camera settings. Well I guess I should start by saying I parked on the wrong side of the building and had to walk forEVER in this heat. Just as I’m deciding which lens I’d like to start shooting with I realize I haven’t put my camera battery in. No biggie, right? Wrong! Turns out for the first time ever I left both my batteries at home. Yeah, this is starting out great (insert sarcasm). So I start walking all the way BACK to my car when I realize that my favorite client lives just down the road and has a Nikon SLR. Hallelujah! I call her and guess what…she’s not home! Of all the luck huh? My only choice is to hightail it back home, which is a good 20 minutes one way, and get my battery. I called my husband when I was close and had him stand at the foot of our driveway. As I pulled up I lowered the passenger side window and shouted ‘throw it in!’ as I drove by. Yes, I did a drive by. Anywho, I finally made it back and just in time for some amazing back-lighting. Ahhh the things we do.
