TPG arranged for a photoshoot at the Old City Hall, and I attended. For the most part, I didn't get anything. I only tripped the shutter 18 times, and one of those was an accidental shot of my lens cap. My goal was to take 20 exposures with my 4x5 camera, but I didn't find anything inspiring enough to lug that beast around the building. As it was, the 40lbs or so of gear I was carrying was way too much. I should have restricted myself to just one or two lenses, and no external flash gear. After about an hour, I was exhausted and discouraged at my inability to find any photographs. The closest thing I could do to salvage this shoot at all was to combine two mediocre photos, which together, almost become decent.
