Nomad's Notes

A young woman with the nickname "Goata" contacted me after hearing about the excursions I was organizing and said she had a bunch of friends who were interested. They were in San Diego. I was working out of the San Francisco area. While setting up to do a bunch of shoots in a row, I decided to do the following: set a shoot for Blacks Beach with Goata's group and on that day fly from SF down to San Diego, rent a car, meet up with everyone and do the outing, then fly back to SF - all in one day. I only had one other photo-person to help me, Big Jim, who would drive down from LA. On the day, his car broke down and he arrived late. So his photos start about half way through. Before he got there I was shooting video and stills back and forth, sometimes handing my still camera to one of the participants. It was a real fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants day.
