My Encounter with a Bucket of Water

This week our church is hosting an outreach for teens in the school located next to us. It called “Teen Games” and involves sports and Biblical lessons. Photographing the “Teen Games” today, I had an encounter with a bucket. One of the tasks involved 6 buckets. Two full of water and four empty ones for each participating team. Each team had to carry as much water they could in two minutes, one by one, from one of the two full buckets to their individual bucket. Sound harmless enough, right! Well, as I bent down to capture the best shoot of the festivities, this was the last thing I saw….

before being drenched by the careening bucket of water, caused by the boy in orange sliding into it. The camera and I were both wet. And since a camera cannot photograph itself, it has no story to tell. As you might suspect, the camera and I are fine, and everyone, including me had a good laugh.
