K-Pop trap.
While helping photographer Olivier Moeckli with his project on photographing youth around the world, we set up some lights in Degraves St. Suddenly we heard the unmistakeably shrill screams of teenage fans.
Turns out that a bunch of K-pop stars were in town to film a T.V show.

Sherwood Forest, The Major Oak.
The Major Oak is a Quercus Robur, the English or pendunculate oak thought to be around 800 years old. In a 2002 survey, it was voted “Britain’s favourite tree”.
According to local lore, its hollow trunk was used as a hideout by Robin Hood’s men, though if Robin was – as legend suggests – active in the 12th or 13th century, this tree could only have been a sapling then. So it must have been another, much older oak that hid the outlaw.
Today, the world famous tree weighs an estimated 23 tonnes, its trunk circumference is 33 feet (10m) and its branches spread to over 92 feet (28m).

That one time a guy I knew got kidnapped.
I walked over to his table, and using the most appropriate name for an anonymous missing tourist, asked if it was him.
"John?"
"Hey Eric, how's it going?" He replied with a wide grin.
"What the Fuck man!? Didn't you just get kidnapped!?"
"Yeah man, actually I'm on the news at 9:30."

Gaffers Tape
All photojournalists know you’re not legit unless you have gaff tape covering all your fucking gear. We spend $20 a roll on that stupid shit and waste 90% of it by putting random strips all over our lenses and cameras.
Sure it’s awesome for it intended uses-ya know, like holding a bounce card on a flash or keeping a gel over a strobe, but do we use it like that? Hell fucking no. Some of us actually buy different colors and use this shit to decorate like we’re 8 and it’s a pack of sparkly unicorn stickers.
If you haven’t taped up every square inch of your gear, hop on B&H and buy a couple dozen rolls. Or just give up and throw away your career. We won’t miss you.
