Day Thirty

by on Nov.15, 2009, under project 365

Sometimes we bite more than we can chew. Today was one of them. I broke a Pocket Wizard and a light stand after a shot that I tried and didn’t work out. It wasn’t that the light was so hard that it broke the PW and the stand. It was raining, we were out on this wet hill and after figuring out that the shot I was looking for would not work out (at least not right now) we grabbed the stuff and left. I fell on the side of the hill while climbing back on the grassy hill. Not bad, considering the damage could have been worse. Kudos to Danny for hanging out with me in the rain. Eventually we went for the shot you see below. I like the hard/soft play of light.
