The last shot I wanted was a portrait of the team in their official [casual] wear. I had a canceled shoot with them on Tuesday (after I was all set up) so my only shot was to be Thursday night in the few minutes preceding their going-away party at the community center. Not the beach backdrop I wanted, but I'd take it. This is the first shoot I've ever had where I had a small time window (~4 minutes) to get my shot. I read some photo blogs of NY photographers who regularly encounter this issue with famous people, so I had a good idea of what to do (be prepared for everything and have a plan). Fortunately they were really easy to work with and I got all the shots I wanted with still a minute to spare.
Immediately after the party I went home and began processing and printing the images. I finished around midnight and the next morning I passed them to a woman who is associated with their group and asked her to get the photos signed. I had to leave for Tokyo that afternoon, so I didn't get them back until this Monday, but they look fantastic. Definitely a prize photo for the exhibition!
