Wouldn't it be nice if I woke up every morning, threw on whatever, and came to work without a care in the world except for some oversized sunglasses and a grande Starbucks?  YES.  But that's not the case my friends. 

Like every other reporter - male and female - I do my own hair and makeup.  And I try to go through the entire day without anything on my head or face disturbed.  (Lets put the major cold front that will it us in a day or so aside for a second) With the high today in the 90s - and possibly the first 90 degree day I've worked since I've been in Utah - I thought to myself all day, "I can't believe I used to do it all alone."  Yes, many of us have been what the industry calls a "one-man-bander."  A.k.a. "backpack journalist."  That's when a reporter is the reproter, photographer, and editor all in one.  And as I was sweating today only rolling the light kit as my photographer hauled the camera and tripod... I was / am so greatful that those days are gone. 

Photographers... Thank you!
