Night time photography shoot shot to heck
Tried taking some shots and called it quits and met a friend for a couple beers.
I once mailed out a big promotion soliciting PC maintenance. It was the culmination of several weeks work and the postage on all of these hand mailed packages was well over $100.00... The very next day the response was tremendous!
I had placed my address in the to: area and the customers address in the return slot. Pride really does goeth before a fall - kerplunk!

. I have an inexpensive tripod (not good for regular use) but it can stay in my car. If it gets broken or stolen, I'm out $25. Obviously, I have learned a lesson. 
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
