Back on set again this morning for what is likely the last shoot day of the year. This year has been a weird one, from a work perspective. Fortunately, it was busier than last year, however, still far from normal. Or, perhaps more likely, it is the new normal and I am still familiarizing myself with it.

One thing that stands out to me on shoot days is how much data is flowing, and how a blockage of data flow (be it images going to the computer, or the internet failing, or a client being indecisive about approving an image) can totally derail a shoot. This image popped up and reminded of of this sentiment and made me appreciate how much infrastructure we take for granted in this world. Modern plumbing alone is a marvel of human achievement, let alone wireless communications and the world wide web!

Anyway, back to work…
