Safety or Risk?
Put on your hardhat but get on with the job.
While shooting a hospital groundbreaking, I had to laugh when the contractor walked up and pointed out the only slightly muddy spot on the whole site. He saw me nearly slip on some loose dirt and said he didn't want me to fall. I thought that was sweet. But seriously, do I really look that fragile? It's not as if I haven't landed on my rear end in front of a crowd before --both literally and figuratively. I'm sure it will happen again.
The figurative falls hurt less and less as I get older, but the ones that find me brushing off dirt and checking for bumps, bruises, and broken bones really are a little harder to take. I suppose I'll just keep on taking my calcium because I have no plans to stop climbing up on things or lying down on the ground if it will give me a fresh creative perspective.
"When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth." -- Cynthia Heimel, Playwright and Author
