The title of this post is a little weird but what if…Follow me on this because everyone should know what to do if they are attacked by pirates on a photo shoot in Toronto.
It’s a great sunny day and you have a couple ready to get in front of your camera for the first time. They anticipate lots of smiling, romantic poses, laughing (if they are shooting with the Photosapien) and great pictures. But things sometimes go off the planned path. Next thing you know, you are accosted by a crew of pirates! They are thieves by nature and for some reason have elected to skip relieving me of my camera, they want a more valuable prize, the fair maiden!
What do you do in this case?
You have a couple of choices, Fight or flee. Or stand back and capture the incident digitally. Guess which I did?
I stood back and watched the Groom to be bravely defend his Queen.
No help needed from me, Chris battled valiantly and prevailed. With his lady out of harms way, the Pirates actually changed their tune and serenaded Kim and Chris with a jolly ole song and ran off. #ThatsWhatIThought!
Nice work Chris.
So the moral is if Pirates are trying to steal your lady, fight.
If they want your camera fight fiercely.
Glad I didn’t have to resurrect my 1989 learned Judo moves. That was an amazing summer camp, thanks for sending me Mom.
The shoot went on as planned, so enjoy some pics.
