Over the last few weeks I’ve shot many assignments that were physically strenuous.
I’ve shot three straight games of softball in 105+ degree heat. I’ve been sand-blasted down on the Oklahoma River in the horribly offensive wind. I’ve even gone running into wildfires, breathing what I am sure was toxic smoke….
Nothing seems to compare to the one food assignment I had to shoot.
For what felt like hours, I had my face about 6 inches from the dishes at Jamil’s Steakhouse. I was sweaty, my spine was contorted, and I was trying desperately to hold a light over my head to illuminate the dimly-lit room.
At the end of it all, I was winded and sweaty. People think I’m ridiculous for saying this, but that assignment took a lot out of me.
All in all, it was a great learning experience and I got to eat some of the delicious food that I shot.
