We all need a laugh, so.....
What's the craziest stuff you seen or have had happen to you on a shoot?
For me, it was the mother of the bride getting plastered during the reception at an at-home wedding.

I had my model sit in the grass once and she sat down on those little sticker tag things. Yeah those were fun to get off.

Getting charged by a bull moose and having to toss my tripod into the willows so I could run, and go back later after he left to retrieve it.
Them suckers can run!!!!!

Literally shooting "from the hip" as my two brothers and I kept hiking on a Yellowstone trail deep in the Slough Creek area. . . there were two grizzly cubs visible about 50 yards off the trail. Mama sow nowhere to be seen! VERY scary! We just kept moving and had our pepper spray in hand!

I was processing a whole days shoot in my darkroom, developing film and my idiot stoned brother-in-law barged in and asked me if I had any beer. No beer but I had some Hawaiian Punch.

Using a Polaroid as a kid back in 1975 to shoot a perfect double exposure of the camp A-hole's face superimposed over a toilet bowl.

Bouncing around in the back of a Toyota van, trying to get a keeper while this angry elephant chased us down the road. Seemed funnier when it was over.

Note - This one's kinda depressing, here goes...
I was a second shooter for a wedding in our state where college football is practically a religion. The reception was grand and had just started when the crowd slowly started thinning around 6:30. An hour later, the crowd had gone from about 200 people to around 40.
You see, kickoff for that weekends game....was at 7:30.
The bride tossed her bouquet to 3 girls. She was trying so hard to make the best of it, but you could tell she was hurting. Saddest wedding I'd ever seen. Certainly didn't say much for the couple's "friends".

That is why there are never weddings on Friday nights in Indiana in the fall and winter. High School football in the fall and Basketball in the winter.

My son-in-law had an argument with the photographer and would not let him take a picture with the bride. I was asked to take the pictures then deleted them.

Grumbling to the lady who sat next to me in the rear of the church, when, earlier the Pastor was overly insistent about my not 'crossing his boundry' to take wedding pictures.
After I dumped all my frustration on her, I learned she was the Pastor's wife! She kindly replied, "I understand totally. I have to LIVE with him!"

Did a wedding many years ago at a small college chapel in East Tennessee and after many anxious moments with a filled tiny chapel listening to the rucus outside, we all went out to find the bride's mom and the groom rolling around on the ground and pounding each other with fists and whatever else they could grab. Needless to say, "Not Today Folks - Not Today"

Being so psyched up about the mountain goats close to the road that I didn't see the "No Parking" signs on the shoulder. The national park police, however, had no problem seeing my parked rental car. Two local shooters from Montana were in the same boat with me. The police officer ended up not ticketing us but kept us at the side of the road for 45 minutes, lights flashing, as a warning to other miscreants not to dare park here anymore (the signs were brand new). It was okay...the Montanans and I had a great time chewing the fat and I made two new friends.
Kinda reminded me of sitting on the Group "W" bench...for you Arlo Guthrie fans. :-D
