There were some bumps in the road here and there but Samantha Rivera, the writer doing the food beat, did a great job gathering facts and making my job easier as a photographer. With her guidance and help I was able to look for images that reflected her story accurately and in an interesting way. Hopefully the end product from both our London and Paris stories will be successful.
As I write this, I wonder how I am to get everything edited and polished before 12 midnight. I would like to get some sleep since tonight can possibly be the only night that I could potentially have some sleep.
However, knowing that I still need to work on other projects and help a couple of writers with their work, does make it highly unlikely that I will get sleep. Nonetheless, I will be a trooper on this - I've always had the help of others to make me look good - it just so happens that it is my turn to let our hard-working editors have that chance too.
Hitting the streets of London today was less stressful than yesterday. Sources were willing to talk and be photographed. There were of course still some cultural issues, especially in Chinatown, but it seemed less intense.
Maybe it was because I felt more optimistic and inspired to work hard after seeing the big picture of Samantha's story.
'Oh London if only I had known you better.'
Even a few laughs between some newly formed friendships, made it easier to work here in London.
On to France and on to fancier things!
