Impossible to satisfy


I call this picture ‘impossible to satisfy’ I obviously like it alot
This picture was taken before an event where the client had requested that the end of a conference instead of having the delegates go out to experience Kampala has nightlife we would instead bring Kampala has nightlife to them
And so we turned the conference center into nightspot club
Loads of hard work. 7 hours before the delegates came onto dance floor we were ready. And for hours Elvis paced up and down troubleshooting, running scenarios, asking what if, double-checking, rehearsing, and then triple checking.
And then everything that could be checked had been checked. And whereas we went sure at that were ready, you could see that he was not satisfied.
This picture was taken at a point when there was really nothing more for him to check. Just a few lights and the screens on. The lull before the storm. But his mind is still running scenarions, fixing problems before they happen, working out different ways it could have been done. 
Then it occurred to me that he actually is always like that, that this is what it actually takes, that you cannot let your guard down, be satisfied
Later the music came on the cocktails flowed and the delegates partied. A far cry from that quiet frozen moment

Oh and the Elvis here refers to Elvis Sekyanzi, MD Silk Events
