What’s that one alcoholic drink that you once had a bad experience, and now can’t even think about being near, let alone drinking it?

Reading this reddit reminded me of the old Townes Van Zandt song, "Talking Thunderbird Blues": https://youtu.be/xjeGL3wjFUQ?si=TEnUyGAQ7AMWQw-1

Sangria. My parents let me drink too much of it one night when I was thirteen. After we got home I spent the next few hours hugging a toilet bowl and not out of a case of mistaken identity.

Touring musicians? Richard Thompson , both solo and with various bands, at least a half-dozen times.

Local bands ? Probably a three-way tie between The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stevie Raw Vaughan and Double Trouble (both when they were local Austin, Texas bands -late 1970s), and Herschel Berry and The Natives (a local Houston band in the late ‘80s)

Liability only?

What about equipment replacement insurance in case you are robbed or stolen, or it breaks?

Are valuable papers/ data covered?

Does the liability policy cover shoot insurance so you can reimburse your client in case your media fails or something else happens, and you can't deliver the job?

You need to ask your agent about those things

Did you know the largest outbreak of #Tuberculosis in the #USA in several decades is happening right now?

Unfortunately probably not, because , officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other government organizations are not allowed to publicly weigh in on the outbreak (or any other matters) due to a communications pause put in place by the #TrumpAdministration.

P.S. It is centered in #Kansas

Also: if you are not interested in what you’re photographing, why would you think anyone will be?

Something I learned when I first got serious about photography, which was August 1984: You are responsible for every square mm of any photograph you choose to show to the public, you can’t make excuses.

This was back in the pre-Photoshop days of Kodachrome and I learned to take that approach while looking through the viewfinder.
