I was <strong>SO EXCITED</strong> for this photo project and was determined to get a photo of each and every person in a Wu Tang shirt that showed up to Coachella that day but the battery in the GD MF POS Fuji x100 that I rented for the weekend died after 3 hours and just 65 photos. And this was after I had a critical fail with the way the camera numbers the image files the night before! I was so mad I wanted to break things. I was seriously tempted to throw that camera in the trash and never look at it again. But that’s for another blog post.
