    Ah, the old Paraguayan Spork of Damocles.

    A prime motivator for us all.

    I was shooting art nude in a forest once and an old man came over out of nowhere and said, "What's going on here? Are ye making a film are ye?" I said we were just taking some photos. He stood there for ages gawking. So eventually we went into an abandoned building to get some privacy. There was a beehive in the roof which got disturbed by the flashes and needless to say my model got stung, (just once on the foot of all places. :D) That was one of the disastrous shoots I did but I always laugh when I think back to it.

    I've had other mad mishaps and funny encounters on shoots but its all part of the experience. As someone who shoots a lot of models I have to deal with flakes occasionally which is very frustrating and there was times when I felt like throwing in the towel. I put a lot of thought and effort into planning locations, outfits, lighting etc but its so worth it when it all comes together.

    I hear that Nikon are working on a series of new Anti-Spork lenses. I am dubious if it will work with shallow depth of field though.
