First blog
I don't have any photos to publish today, since this is the first blog I've ever published, so I will just say a few things about my day and about the first day of my internship (yesterday).

Today, we did mug shots of all 23 players on the soccer team, and a few random athletes from other sports in one of the lobbies at Barnhill Arena. I was impressed by Y's ability to find a clean background in an area that had so much reflective glass. Glass tends to scare me a bit when working with strobes or flash, but the photos turned out well-- Y cropped tight, and kept the poses simple and uniform. Some of the girls requested a second shot, which was a lot like pressing the >< button on an elevator.
After a lunch break, Y and I proceeded to the court to get a volleyball team photo with all the coaches and staff. That was over in less than 5 minutes. Actually, Y counted to 3 about 5 times, so I suppose it was actually 15 seconds. It was a good first day. While I didn't learn much, I did get a chance to see some of the Women's Athletics support staff in their natural habitats. Hopefully it will be a matter of time before I feel like I'm in my own natural habitat.

Elly and I were finally able to get together this morning and go over some of the thoughts brewing in our heads lately. After speaking with her, I feel we're on the same page, and I have full faith in her leadership as Photo Editor. She has decided that my role as Chief Photographer will be to help the staffers with any technical problems, ideas, etc. I'm also somewhat of a coordinator for a photographer developing a package idea. It'll be nice to share some of the things I learned in my documentary courses.
When our Media Director, Steve, called the EiC and I into his office, I was expecting to hear everything Elly and I work on be dashed away by some kind of budgetary or beaurocratic limit-- but Steve was open to our ideas. We are currently working on a way to compensate photographers for photos published only to the website-- something that we have never actually done before (the compensate part, not posting photos). It was thrilling to get so much done today. I can't wait to set aside my writing pad with all the notes I've made in preparing the traveler for the next generation of photographers, policies, and new implimentations. I'm ready to shoot! Last year, I covered the campus resident halls "move-in day". I'll be covering it again this year, so it'll be a nice challenge to actually have a recurring story. It'll give me a chance to find a new angle.
I feel blessed that after only a year of working as a photographer, I've come this far with so much support. I have another goal--well, it's more of an effort-- but I want to give the new photographers the same kind of support and aid that I was given when I first started out.
As Robert Hanashiro would say--- Mohalo!
