Underdressed & Overexposed

Nothing screams excitement to a photographer than a banquet on the assignment sheet that you have to get to fill time in the fluff section of the rundown. The hustle of making it on time only to realize that you’ll stand out like one of Megan Fox’s thumbs.

The sight of someone in a pair of jeans or some camouflage shorts is usually a dead give away that you work in television news and your trying to blend into your surroundings. Eventually you come to the realization that Waldo is going to stay hidden longer than you. Standing around waiting for the event to start while dodging the wait staff delivering dinner to the donors of the evening. Good thing you have some running shoes to keep you light on your feet. No big deal just grab what pictures you can get the hope that there is something left on the fruit tray to eat since you won’t have to hit a drive thru on the way back to the newsroom. You can thank Pookey for the lack of nourishment.
