I know last week that I said I was going to talk about mirrorless cameras, however I moved that to another time. Today I am going to talk about how I handle nourishment while out making photos. This will be a 2 part blog. Let's start with the most important meal of the day Breakfast. I love breakfast, though the type I have depends on the situation I am starting my day. If I am doing a sunrise shoot with the location not to far (at least an hour) from either my home or hotel, I will grab a quick snack before heading out and getting my shots. I will usually award myself with a hearty breakfast at a local restaurant near the shoot location. The reason I grab a snack before I leave is I am diabetic and going that long with out food could cause my sugar to drop. As stated I reward myself with a nice breakfast as a way of celebrating me getting up early to get the sunrise. If i am local (10-15 minutes) I will either pick up breakfast on the way home or make it there. The other time I have breakfast out is when I am traveling to say North Conway for a train chase. That is to far to wait to have breakfast, so I will grab breakfast out before I get on the road, usually a breakfast sandwich, hashbrowns, and coffee, or I make a sandwich at home for a quick bite.
Now we move on to the second meal of the day Lunch. In all of my photo trips, nine times out of ten I will bring lunch I pack from home. There are several reasons why. The first one is I am cheap and It's cheaper to bring a lunch from home then having to buy one out. The second reason is I don't want to take time away from photography to eat. With a lunch with me I can eat whenever I get hungry. Also if I am in a location that is off the beaten path then I don't have to take up time trying to find a restaurant. The third reason is I am trying to eat healthier and buy making a lunch and bringing it with me I know what I am bringing and what is going into my body.
The third meal of the day is dinner. Dinner is probably the only meal when I am out on a photo trip that I eat out. It is to much work to bring a separate container for dinner. Also I am generally going home after dinner so it's a nice way to cap off the day. Plus I get to save a little money with just buying dinner.
That is it for today. Next week I will go into a little more details on to what I eat and How I hold it. Take Care Mark
