The pictures were fine, but what you can’t see from looking at them is that they were and a little painful to take. I was glad the shoot (kind of) worked out, and I had no idea how many shoots over the next year would have that same unstable my-legs-might-collapse-at-any-moment feeling. Here’s what I got for it.
