Oh, no, @alt3r, you think it is not just a phase hahaha? It will last...forever? lol
I am reading your story, a broken elbow for a professional photographer is not a good thing. Neither would be good for a musician.
How is your elbow by now? Can you hold the camera without problems, or does it still hurt a bit?
The birthday party - Murphy visited you, for sure. Forgotten SD card, lol it happens to me too sometimes, but I am not a photographer, so it doesn't count. Well, forgotten music scores and realised it when arrived at a competition... it does count in my profession (but it happened to my son, not to me lol)
In the morning, my SD from some reason formated and erased all content. Did I panicked? I was freaking out!
Oh, dear! that sounds terrible, panic attack plus freaking out is a must in those situations. But, in the end, you recovered the photos? Wow, their threatening dont sound good, I suppose I would regret too. But you know what, you learned a lesson probably. If you don't have the intuition you have to go and shoot an event, then you refuse!
P.S. at least you enjoyed the music :D
You got me worried about that. :D
Broken elbow isn't good for anyone, recovery lasted a bit longer than I was expecting, but let's mention that I was also expecting some nicely cream I can put on for a few days and puf it's gone!
But no it took months, now I'm finally ok, I can announce weather change now, basically I got a super power. Doing a gig when you are half mobile is triple heavier, but what disturbed me the most was actually their unprofessional behavior, I mean treating to someone cause of the Bday photos is a serious issue. If I was a bit more 'normal' at that time, maybe I would even sue them for 48hrs of psychical torture.
Photos are saved at the very end, sent and deleted from my sight 4ever!
No more Bday parties for me, babies only, I can handle them. 😂
haaha, yes, babies are easier to handle 😂
