Sanity Saver: Shelter from the Storm

Traditionally the Sanity Savers were produced from unused footage
and calming soundtracks featuring independent music artists. This
past summer a fellow photographer David Taylor and I found
ourselves pinned down in a tent high up in the mountains during a
lightning storm. It’s seriously an unnerving situation. The
questions and strategies rolled out like – Do we descend down the
mountain in heavy downpour on very wet terrain, risk falling or
being struck? Do we stay put in a tent surrounded by aluminum
rods? Eventually we opted for the later, hoping the air
mattresses we were sitting on would isolate us from being
grounded. Crazy as that sounds, I don’t think there was a real
win situation.

Sitting there in the tent I decided to save my sanity and film
the experience, which I think now actually feels more calm than
we felt at the time.
