The worst thing that could happen to the
“Festival Nomad” is to forget his camera! Now I know that you are probably
saying “Boy, what a big baby!” Perhaps that’s true, but my camera is my crutch!
I use it as my ears and my memory. Since I write most of my articles a few
weeks after Judi and I visit an event, I use the photos to “jog” my memory of
what I saw and heard. Without my camera, I would be lost or. At least, severely
hampered.
I
always pack my “festival kit” the night before. It includes business cards,
notes about the festival or event we are visiting, a festival evaluation sheet
and my camera, with batteries (can’t run the camera without batteries – 4). By the
way, never give any of your spare batteries to anyone without replacing them. I
gave my daughter two batteries and then forgot to replace them. At the next
event I went to I needed four new batteries and I only had two. Fortunately it
was near the end of the event some I didn’t need to take many more photos. If
it had have been early, It could have been a disaster!
