perhaps time to retire?
an adult photographer shooting from (any) chair is going to miss out on all the good angles.
the same thought has occured to me, when shooting the AVN Red carpet, the entire front row of shooters sat on the riser during the event, I 'm thinking, time for these guys to call it a day
At one point both Dean and I had 'water on the knee' from shooting... almost impossible to knee and shoot at that time, well fuck that. it is impossible to kneel and shoot with that condition... very very VERY painful. ... we both had to adjust our shooting styles... life goes on...

You know, the camera isn't super heavy but a 7D, 24-70, and PW held for 8 hours mostly against my face can really drain my strength. My back starts to hurt, and my knees definitely hurt...
I'm not talking about just your average shoot. I'm talking about shooting 12 photo sets and an hour of video footage.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one... I was starting to think I was just a major pussy or something! LOL

i do same, sometimes 15 sets and 3 vids in one day 10 hours.., people dont understand you have to be in good physical shape to be a shooter. often day after my body aches like a really hard workout.
i use a soft foam board for my knees though..
