A DP and alone time (with the computer) starts my day too. And...before a shoot I have to jam to music or I don't have my artistic groove on. Not a superstition, but it def. has an affect on my sessions.

I start my workday with a coke and TPF. But it's more of a rut than a superstition. :)

Not a real superstition, but I tend to worry about the location if I am not familiar with it, and may go check it out once or even twice before the shoot. I have no reason to feel this way, but there is something about a new, unfamiliar place that makes me nervous. It's probably because I want to previsualize my shots as much as possible.
