How to successfully lose stuff and be super happy about it!

Morning!

So in my 2 years of snapping away I've been pretty lucky...

I havent had a card fail... (knock on wood)
I havent dropped a lens...(double knock on wood)
I havent killed anyone with making them do strange crazy things while risking their life...(Knock on wood, wiggle ears, spin three times)

But last night in the misty ocean of Folly I came across my first dealings with some bad luck...

ok so here's how it goes:

I got my girl Hanna and shes looking all cute and apparently people are noticing cause some super drunks would not leave us alone.
So it's about 9:30 and I go to get some pics further out in the ocean water of another model
Well to do this I must carry the lights out (well I cant carry them but we wont name names of the culprit)...

I got my shot all ready to go, I mean i am locked and loaded and I got a guy in jeans in front of me... the water has wet just enough of the jeans.. it's gonna be super sexy.. I check the settings, I line up the focus... I press the shutter... and Nothing.

ok, ok no big deal lights didnt go off.. try again

I check the settings, I line up the focus...

Zero, Zip, Nada

And then I hear the voice, (you know the one holding my light behind me) say, "umm Collette, there is no transmitter attached.. I think it fell."

It did right in the ocean...It's is now Shark Bait.. ohh haha (Nemo people, you know the movie)!

So normally I would be upset, possibly sad and kicking myself for bringing equipment out near the dangerous seas but something magical has happened...

I got home and saw this shot:



It's not the jean soaked male model.. but it is my super smokin friend Hanna right before the loss of light and I realize "I'm glad I decided to bypass Taco Boy and take the challenge to go out!"

Hanna Banana.. you look Amazing
Jean soaked male model... we will meet again
Light holder... Youre lucky you make some sick music mixes :)

And in the end it's all about how you find the brightside :)
