  Everything that could have possibly gone wrong for my photoshoot today did. The shooting location was supposed to be ready last Friday. But when I went there this morning to check out the place, it was in a M-E-S-S. Construction work was incomplete, scaffoldings were everywhere and the ground was uneven and muddy.
Still, there was some hope. Parts of the interior and several of the low level confidence elements were done up, albeit crassly. But nothing was impossible if the photographer was skilful enough. A few carefully selected angles and close-ups would do the trick. And the weather was indeed looking good. To my dismay, the bright and sunny day started growing gloomy and overcast some time after lunch.
The shoot was mainly outdoors and rain would worsen the already muddy ground. It would be quite dangerous for the models to attempt the rope courses in this weather. Plus, I did not think they would enjoy treading across gooey mud in yellow construction site boots and posing in the rain. I kept my fingers crossed and hoped the rain clouds would go away but a drizzle started and soon it was pouring. The photographer, models and instructors were due to arrive in half an hour and the rain was slowing down.
Praise the Lord! My joy was short lived though. Everyone turned up except for our star model. It turned out that she was supposed to return from an overseas trip last night but was mugged and had to stay an extra day to make a police report. Needless to say, the shoot was re-scheduled.
