SHOOTING TOURISTS
I had eight weeks to cover a city for a tourist guidebook. I called in every favor I had built up over
the years, but one music club proved elusive. After extensive negotiations, I got permission to
photograph during one of their late night concerts. I arrived early, talked to each of the bands,
and obtained their permission.
Halfway through the second set, I realized I had only a single media card in the camera and it was
almost full. For the rest of the night I would gingerly take a couple of pictures, review, and then
commit the cardinal sin of deleting perfectly good images that were less likely to make the final
cut. Oops. To this day I dream of what I lost.
Note: Double check and never delete in camera
