I always try to be prepared for the unexpected that happens in front of me. I think that comes from my newspaper photography days when I always traveled with a camera loaded with film and set for the proper outside exposure within easy reach of the drivers seat. As I transitioned into commercial and advertising I slacked on having that camera as easily accessible, but one can still be found not far from me. Funny, the amount of anxiety dreams about missing a shot because I couldn’t unlock my car trunk to get to my cameras, not being able to load my camera with film or some other equipment disaster has significantly declined. I still keep myself at the ready for that unexpected shot and that’s why you can usually find two cameras slung around my neck when I’m shooting. One with a Canon 16-35 mm F2.8 wide angle zoom lens and one with a Canon 70-200 F2.8 telephoto zoom lens. That way if I’m shooting with the wide lens and I see a great opportunity for a long lens shot I’m not fumbling around and switching lenses.
