Just too burnt out after 14+ hours.
Thoughts?
Don't want to sound like a bastard or pretending to be a hard arse but I don't think this is such a terrible thing.
When I did a lot of Italian, greek, macedonian and other ethnic weddings, you thought you were lucky if you were ONLY there 14 hours.
As for sustainable, I, ( and a couple of the other shooters working there) did 3 of these a weekend about 45 weekends a year. It was what the work required so what we did. Along with every other shooter doing the same sort of weddings, we weren't unique by any stretch.
I have heard this " Too hard/ burnt out thing many times before and without trying to put anyone down, Just sounds to me like people need to get out to the Gym and get a bit more fit.
I'm 50 years old and have diabetes and while a 14 hour day isn't a picnic, I just got back from an event where we were shooting 15hours+ saturday and sunday and the other guys had done the day before i got there. On the Monday, we got Got up , packed up the hotel room, had breakfast and on our way.
Even if you do these job twice a week, you have 5 days in between to rest up and the more you do it the more used to it you become. I'm the laziest SOB around but I don't understand how those younger and healthier than I can have trouble with this unless they have some reasonably serious illness. If you have, different thing. If you don't have an ailment, then I think perhaps a good look at ones lifestyle, eating habits and exercise would do one a lot of good for a lot more reasons than just being able to handle 14 hour weddings.
It's not like we are coal miners or in the military or other people that do 12 hour shifts every day for 4-5 days straight...or longer!
