On Christmas Day I was asked to be the (semi)official photographer for a friend's wedding. However, on the day before the wedding (January 13) I was stuck in Rio. (A 6 hour drive from home)
Fortunately the car (which was/is broken) was deemed safe to travel back. So off we go at 5 in the morning, arriving home at 11 with the wedding starting at 12.
All I had time to do was take a shower, throw on some clothes, and run outside to start shooting photos. (Over 460)
Thankfully some of the photos turned out decent, I was expecting a total flop. I learned a lot, mainly in regards to focusing and timing. (Yes, I learned the hard way) But that was one reason why I accepted to take photos of the wedding, so I could learn, even if it would be through the school of hard knocks.
Here are a couple of the best ones. (In my humble opinion at least)

Was checking out the news when I ran across this tidbit.
Self-clean technology to remove the mud, sweat and tears of wash day for ever
Scientists have produced a coating that could make filthy rugby shirts and grubby football shorts a thing of the past.
The "self-cleaning" process makes fabrics repel water, resist stains and even kill off the bacteria that grow in sweat and make clothes smell. As a result, kit could be worn repeatedly between washes, the distinctive aroma of kit bags gone for ever – even performance on the field could be enhanced.
Scientists working for the US Air Force have already produced T-shirts and underwear that can be worn for weeks at a time without washing.

Personally, even when these become commercial, I'll still stick to wash days. Thank you very much. :D
