Okay, actually, it wasn't THAT bad. But Nate the photog and I did have a day peppered with progressively frustrating incidents.
-Before a noon liveshot, the mast's up, the camera and cable are ready -- then somehow, we lock ourselves out of the truck while it's running.
-While climbing the stairs to an observation deck, Nate trips, falls backward, nearly taking both of us out. He says something is still seriously not right with his back.
-An hour before airtime, THIS is what happened to our tape.
