~:[CH14 - Day 321]:~ The Show Must Go On

I thought about staying home tonight and at some points, I thought I should have, however, I decided to brave the storm and in the end, I was rewarded. The event was rain or shine so despite the forecast, I headed out and prepped for the weather. There were some hiccups and I ended up getting trapped in a bad spot when things got switched up. It was all good when the rain stopped and the umbrellas were down, but when the rain picked up, the umbrellas when up and my spot was no good. I did what I could from where I was, yet missed the performance I was there to capture for the most part. Still yet, I persisted and captured a few nice clips and got some clips from the end of the performance. Failure is part of the job. In my agreements, I often mention that there are no guarantees especially when conditions and crowds impact my ability to complete my tasks, regardless, the show must go on no matter what and I agree to do whatever I can to get the best media possible. In the end, the persistence paid off and I ended up with a decent reel. It wasn't what I imagined, still yet, it was an impressive feat considering the conditions. I was soaked and so I changed out of my clothes before getting into my car. Luckily, I had something to put on. I turned up the heater and headed home, quickly jumping into the shower when I got home. I glanced once more through my footage and smiled, as I knew that considering everything, I did pretty well. Don't quit or give up just because things are difficult. Do what you can and see if you can find a way, as often, your persistence will pay off.
