Sounds like the opposite of the classic Stoic 'premeditatio' advised
by Seneca where you begin each day mentally listing all the terrible
things that could happen to you during that day including sudden
death and draw great comfort when they don't happen.
Oh, and if they do, then you're expecting them. So then if you reach
the end of the day with images, or even alive - you're ahead.
Flat batteries.
Sudden camera death syndrome.
Losing the spare SD card
Left correct lens at home.
Rain
Theft of equipment
Equipment transport unit failure
Arrest by security guard
Threatened by accidental subject, crowd member...
etc. :-)
