>>2968359>>2968366It was a whole clusterfuck, and a long story.
So, I used to be the in-house photog for an car tuning shop and racing team. We all got sick of each other's shit and I left the business before shit got too heated.
A few months ago, the business owner hits me up and says that a major company/media outlet that's sponsoring them is double booked, and they need a photog to shoot my old job's car at a time trial event. I'm working for the media outlet, not my old company, but in a situation like that shit can get pretty confused.
So, day of the event, we all have to get up at 3AM and drive 2 hours to the track. Shit pretty quickly goes back to the way it was when I worked for these guys - they don't understand that I need to get my side of the job done, and they're uncooperative as fuck. On top of that, they're not a very professional bunch, and their sponsor doesn't understand this - they want, you know, slick photos of a slick pit crew doing pit crew things, and there just aren't opportunities to get shots like this, unless the client wants shots of fat guys' asscracks peeking out of dirty shorts and t-shirts.
So, next problem - I've promised the client live photos, and it turns out the track's press center isn't open during this event, nobody knows the wi-fi password, and there's barely enough cell data at the track to send emails, no way photos are getting uploaded. Major issue right there, and I dunno what the fuck I could've done about it. Making it worse is that this event made us press guys park way the fuck out in the middle of nowhere, so it's like a 40 minute walk to my car, and with our car on track every hour, there's not enough time to get to my laptop and back between sessions.
