Gymnasts

If I could provide anyone out there with a minor pearl of wisdom, it would be to always remember to bring your memory cards to assignments.

Today I ventured over to east Nampa to take a portrait of four youth gymnasts who will soon be traveling to the U.S. National Championships.

I strolled into the gym around 3:15, met the girls and immediately came up with the idea of catching all four posing in mid-air. I then set up the lighting equipment and quickly realized something wasn't right. You know when you have that feeling that you are forgetting something. For me it is a very common occurrence and it seems like every time I get that feeling, I almost always am in fact forgetting something.

So I got ready to shoot and realized I had forgotten my wallet of memory cards in the office. Fortunately, I had a friend in the office who was able to run them out to me, for a nominal fee of course.

Hey! I definitely forgot my memory card once when I was shooting in Sheldon. I had to take a photo of an elderly lady and had to ask her to wait while I ran the 20 miles back to the office to get the card. That was most assuredly not the highlight of that internship. I love the photo!
