Amazing news, unheard of:
I just landed an internship shooting for the Charlotte Observer!

I literally just met the directory of photography, Bert Fox, last Tuesday.
He gave a talk at my university, and I spoke to him after words... but didn't dare ask for an internship (I'm just a lowly Sophomore who's only taken one photoJclass).

But through some miracle of miracles, he later that night asked the head professor of PhotoJ for a recommendation for an intern ( he had had somone lined up, but they opted out for another opportunity with National Geographic). That professor, spoke to mine, and I got the Rec and the phone call yesterday.

I've been thinking maybe I'll open a separate account for photojournalism. But then I think .. I have other websites for portfolios, deviant art is my story, from the beginning.. and I think i'll keep it that way.

I'm so tempted to show you my cards...

I have been working for over a month now on my first ever photostory for my PhotoJournalism class at University. It has been an amazingly rewarding experience so far and I am DYING to show you guys what's turning out.

but No-- Patience, it's still not ready.

Project Deadline: May 2nd

I'll turn it in that day, hopefully i'll be satisfied enough with it at that time to show you.

Till then,

Things to Come

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 31, 2008, 6:21 PM
So I'm really excited about the photostory I'm working on for my Photojournalism class. I have some contacts that have put me in touch with a group of homeless people that live in a "tent community" in Durham. There is also a local group that works on helping these people move out of poverty and into substantial housing.

I'm hoping to gain access to the community and photographically chronicle one of the individuals transition from homeless life in the woods into substantial housing. If the photostory in my head can make it through to my camera, it should be an incredible shoot, not to mention an incredible experience.


This summer is looking great too. I'm working on a number of things:
-an internship with a local weekly paper.
- a trip to Africa with a documentary photojournalist to work on a book.
- more weddings/ portraiture work.

so yeah... good things on the horizon.

I'm working on an Artist's statment as well, hopefully I can post that as my next Journal.
Till then.
