Without a Clue

This happen sometimes, especially when 2 languages are involved.

I was assigned to photograph the arrival of the Osbourne family (That is what I thought) at the airport. The assignment description was written in Chinese and it read "Au Si Mong". So I arrived early at the airport, expecting to see lots of young fans dressed up like rock stars , who watched the reality TV show of the Osbourne family. I had no clue about them and just knew that they are a weird family. So I was expecting to see weird fans dressed up in loud clothes.

I was confused when I saw less than 10 fans, of which 9 are middle age aunties carrying record and posters of The Osmond Family. What a blunder! But I had to recover fast, and found out more about the 50 year old family band form the fans behind they arrived.

It was a huge entourage and I had no clue how many members the band has or how they look like. I took my cue from the fans - whoever they surround for autographs is my target. Luckily, it not too messy and the Osmonds are nice enough to stop and talk to the few fans. So I have more than enough shots, and a free ticket to their concert....to learn more about The Osmonds, a very popular family band back in the 70s.
