When Life (and stupidity) get in the way....

Today I was suppose to do an executive photo shoot for a very good friend. We have been talking about it for a couple of months and finally set a date this past Wednesday! Well... I came home from work, made sure my camera and lens were clean, got everything together and went out to the garage to get a table... when I started to come back in the house, the door had shut and well, it's one of those that stays locked but can open from the inside. My fiance and I talked about how dangerous that would be when we moved in and talked about replacing it and never got around to it. He happened to be out of town (ok... out of state) and the only other person who has a key is his father who is with him... so, there I am, stranded with absolutely no way to get back into our condo. I knock on a neighbors door who I have not officially met yet, but they do not hear me. I find a couple of other neighbors who are walking their dogs. Mark and I wave and chatted to one but did not know her name. I told them the situation and they thought they might be able to find someone who could help me. So, I follow them around the neighborhood (with no shoes, btw) and we run into a guy who they were thinking might be able to help. Anyway... three hours later, and we're still not in the house (but close...the power drill had was not charging fast enough). I finally have my fiance call some of his friends to see if anyone can come over and help me finish breaking into our own home (My phone was inside as well... so I was using my kind neighbors). Anyway, the guy who I was suppose to take pictures for ended up coming over and helping me get into my house...

So, I'm back in... but we have to reschedule the pictures to I'm not sure when and I'm very sad and I feel so bad. My only hope is that I learn enough from now and then to have AMAZING pictures for him. (Oh, and we're finally replacing that lock with one that stays locked!!!)
