I have similar dreams, but it’s always about playing bass guitar, and I’ve never played bass guitar.

I wonder if you learned to play bass if the dreams would stop, or just change to something new.

That is a nightmare. I started to sweat just reading this.

Ooof, this reminds me to write about a shoot that nearly got completely ruined by bad electronics in one of my RZ67 lenses. I'm glad I took some digital shots to supplement because I didn't realize the issue until all the film came back 4 stops underexposed

Well it seems you salvaged The National shoot with a good dose of improvisation. They are one of my favourite bands - a perfect, dour soundtrack to my middle years!

I did salvage it, I think, but I sure would like to have another go at it.

I agree, perfectly dour. That should be the name of their next album.

Good to know these experiences are universal - even for the bumbling amateur. Reading this has actually made me calm, and appreciate my Holga. Thanks Travis.

I'm so glad! I wish I could say writing it made me calm.
