HaHa. I actually called my client.
Me: " Hi, Eu....., I'm at the lacation now. Where are you ? "
Client: " E.... the shoot is tomorrow....right? "
Me: (Realising what an ass I must have been)" Yeah, that right. I'm actually at the location to do a reccee before the shoot tomorrow and was wandering if you want to meet for lunch. "

Thanks. I'm not joking, it really happened. My client suspected something but we both just kept quite about it. When she met me the next day she just said with a cheeky smile " so, you were here yesterday fro a reccee isit? " I just look her straight in the eyes and said "yeah, I was here yesterday"

Yours is a classic example of a pure kiasu... ;p
People go a few hrs early to chope places, u go 24 hrs earlier...
I went to the NDP yesterday with this shot in mind.
The WA shot of the crowd going "Ahhh, Wahhhh!" with the fireworks in the bg
but where I was seated the fireworks cannot be seen! Stupid big screen blocking the way.

Blue sector rite?
My view was totally blocked... Nvm, I brought back the umbrella as a souvenir.
everytime i set out specially to shoot, i have all my equipment with me, ready and all, then it rains the whole flippin day and there were times i practically stayed out for a whole day waiting for the rain to stop before i could get home. :angry:
and then when i'm not shooting, our dear ol' Sun shines ever so brightly, everything around me i see potential shots, but then MY CAMERA IS AT HOME! :angry: :angry:
