Sunday began my internship at The Capital. I leeched off of the staff photojournalist normally assigned for the day, Josh, and we attacked a Catholic mass & picnic, old lady tea & concert, and a fish fry. Really I should have posted this yesterday for the full effect of my […]

I LOVE THIS PLACE
Me, to Bob: “I’ll drop by tomorrow at 3. I just need you to read over my goal sheet (they’re really simple goals, I promise) and sign that we can achieve them. The other is a packet saying basically I will actually be doing work and not picking up your dry cleaning that just needs one signature. Also, Brian asked me to set up a shrine for him somewhere near his old desk. I said that probably wasn’t going to happen.” Bob, to me: “OK, great. Say, on your way in, would you mind stopping by Admiral Cleaners on Taylor Ave and…….. (Just a joke, I swear). –BobG.” Also, I love four-hour computer classes that are basically self-study. Not really, but I do appreciate the internet. Hopefully this will give me enough time throughout the semester to set up a real professional site, […]
Who Knew?
As a public service announcement… Matt left me last week. He literaly walked out, saying he wanted to be single. He’s happier being alone than with me, whom he still claims to love. I’m a little confused. In the words of my old violin professor: “Well, you can get over […]
Internship: Day 0
I went in to The Capital yesterday to meet the guys (and apparently, one girl!) in the photography department. Everything was so laid back I wonder how they get work done. Not really, but the environment is pretty chill for a newsroom. I love local papers. Technically I’ll be interning […]
Moving Right Along
After a summer as Senior Assistant at The Picture People, going through three Studio Managers, several employees and thousands of customers… I quit. I can’t work for a company that discourages me from attending college and encourages me to demote myself rather than attend management training. I woke up every […]
Toothbrushes, too.
Friends don’t let friends sit at home on a Friday night. They call when they say they’re going to call. And it seems that everywhere I go, Medieval Times is there. Toothbrushes are there too.
fixed lens, pt two
I explored my neighborhood trying to find something worth photographing, and really only got as far as the next corner. But I found that some of the best things to look at were in my backyard, or really, just inside the living room. In other news, I have a tour/interview […]
fixed lenses make me work harder
Not once, but twice this morning I grabbed my camera ready to go out and twice rain began to pour from the heavens the moment I opened my back door. So I’m inside, going through photos from last week, when Matt and I beat boredom with mini-golf. And the obligatory […]
Nothing New
I promised myself I would shoot every day over the summer, but I have sorely disappointed. Being a Senior Assistant Manager without a Store Manager for the past month has left me running around with minor heart attacks, spending more time on the phone and buried in paperwork than in […]
100% true
I wish I could go back to college. Life was so simple back then. What would I give to go back and live in a dorm with a meal plan again! I wish I could go back to college. In college you know who you are. You sit in the […]
