What a Photographer Taught Me About Patient Care
Have you ever had a professional photo shoot? I have had many…but not because I particularly enjoy being photographed. Actually, it is quite the contrary.
Photo shoots have always been a traumatic experience for me. You see, for some reason, likely as a creative form of cruel parenting punishment, my family of five siblings had a photo taken EVERY year while growing up. Instead of wearing our Sunday best, however, we were always asked to wear the uniform and hold the props of the activities in which we were involved during that year.
