Today was really a lovely day. I woke up fairly early because that is how I generally roll. Headed up to the continental breakfast upstairs but didn’t see a single coworker, despite there being maybe 40 in this hotel. No matter, I trotted off quickly to B&H to peruse the camera gear because I am a masochist and know I can’t afford any of it. But I thought maybe I could find a funky camera strap or something. Instead, I picked up a hot shoe sync for my studio lights. Very helpful staff there, as always.
We were supposed to get all manner of crazy wind and lots of rain last night, but the “storm” was little more than a blip in the area and some areas did see serious weather. But sometimes we do get awesome, crazy weather. It’s a relatively rare event here in mild-weather Washington, D.C., so I have to cherish it then. I’m sure if I lived in tornado alley or blizzard-friendly Chicago, I’d be well sick of thunderstorms, hail and nasty weather. And I’m not unaware that harsh weather brings a lot of suffering to a lot of people every year.
