Picture This Photography Kingston

In August I got the opportunity to interview for a job with a local photography studio.  I was pretty excited because it's one of the sides of photography I don't have a lot of experience with yet.

Luckily Mike liked me and I was added to his "school picture" roster. I worked with them for two months, then I got hired on at the Kingston This Week.

After the training it was on to the schools, with high schools first and then on to the elementary.  It was hard work to get an entire school photographed in one day (sometimes two) but it was an awesome experience.

The team of coordinators, photographers and 'upstairs' staff was a blast to work with and we kept each other laughing through some very hard days.

Learning how to set up the gear

Each photographer has their own set of gear

This is one way I helped deal with standing on my feet all day

(Don't tell Kristy) but this big guy was crawling around

Gotta love fire drills

An easy way to get the little ones to look in the right place and smile

My last day - the gear looks so lonely

Internship - Kingston This Week - Week Three (May 30) Published

I decided to extend this internship one more week so my final day (as an intern) will be May 31.  It'll just give the whole experience balance to end at the end of the month. 

This week was a short one with the Victoria Day stat on Monday.

Events I covered: Police Chief for an afternoon, Pride parade advancer, KASSAA soccer finals,
and the EOSSAA tennis championships.

Stories I wrote: A profile on a local glass framer, the next Bellrock Theatre production, St. John's Anglican church anniversary,

This is what got published (and again, some events/stories were held for next week):
