9. Decided to try a shot indoors with a really poor light, and with distance. But it sure was a bad idea! Though, this photography has a post-story; I was in this bar with my friends for the gig, and just after we left, a huge storm begun. The city of Bordeaux, in the south of France, was totally flooded. We had our legs under water, yes, even our knees were under water! I promise. This was unbelievable… but fortunately, we could reach the home of nice people that gave us clothes to change ourselves and we could take my car to come back home after the storm stopped.
