We forget how hard traveling is on the body. The glamour of a life on the road looks great for the internet, but moving from place to place to place is taxing. I can't tell you how many times we've landed at home, and the flu has taken me down for a week or two. I can't tell you how many times we've landed for a work trip and the flu has tried to take me down for a week or two.
We push through when we have too.
Cam showed up after working in Seattle for a week with the flu, and pushed through for two shoots while she was in town. With so many people visiting to shoot we are masters the quarantine. We are also masters of trying to make sure that nobody that shows up sick pushes themselves too hard. Its easy as a sick freelancer to feel like its unprofessional to relax.
We feel like we must work. Emails, photo shoots, travel, social media, if we aren't creating we better be posting. If we aren't posting we better be interacting. If we are sick we better not be sick. It can be hard.
