Several years ago I spent a couple weeks shooting in Hawaii in August and flew back to San Diego to get more gear and on to Delaware where I spent the next couple days shooting (for NCR Corp.) in this gigantic freezer. Gigantic. It was six stories high and 1200 feet long and was the key frozen food distribution center for central eastern US. The central freezer area is at 20 degree F and most of the workers worked in shirtsleeves. I would shoot both in the central freezer and in increasingly warmer (less cold) areas that surrounded it. Keeping the gear fog free was a real experience. We worked from the outside in. And at the end of the day I would put gear into Halliburton cases and walk out into 90-100 degree afternoons.
