EXIST EXIST EXIST EXIST EXIT
spent the morning feeling like shit after a second dose of 'cholera nightcap' before bedtime
i was miserable with a back that went ping sometime yesterday
and down about the rain
drove west arriving early for a shoot with jamie redknapp at the sky sports tv studios.
spent too long wrangling with security guards who couldn't agree on the correct procedure for letting us in.
i was due to have 20 minutes to set up and 20 minutes to shoot.
an hour later than scheduled, i had 11 minutes to set up and 4 minutes to shoot jamie in front of a newly assembled, live studio audience.
hard for someone to pose naturally and comfortably in front of a load of people staring at you.
the whole photographer /sitter dynamic is often ruined with an audience: being photographed shouldn't be a spectator sport: it should be a more intimate occasion.
anyway
despite all this, managed to get two killer set ups.
and when the adrenaline kicked in, mid stressful shoot, i forgot my bad back and forgot i was feeling tired.
stopped for bow bunker pizza company® supplies
RTB to wonder if the fridge thermostat has going off.
commander chris wonders if the bunker is haunted: the ambi-rad heating apparently kept turning itself on, despite being off, today.
