What is your notion of a terrifying event? Is it getting
stuck in a grounded airplane for eight long hours straight because somebody
made the blunder of kidding about a bomb? Could it be arriving at a destination
somewhere in the western world for your long delayed family vacation only to
find out someone messed up the reservations and then the resort is fully
booked? Or could it be deleting several hours worth of wedding ceremony photos
of a celebrity wedding party with no way to retrieve erased pictures, pictures
that might bump you from a lowly paid junior photographer to a highly paid
professional photographer?
All three situations are potentially frightening problems to
experience but only the third event could present a serious effect on your
career. Of course sometimes, when pictures are involved, life isn’t that thrilling
or gripping. Sometimes, your photo-related disasters can be as minor as
accidentally deleting pictures of a photogenic pet doing an amazing somersault
or as critical as removing pictures from your parents’ golden anniversary
celebration.
