Second day, we showed my portfolio to the class and started to discuss about what they interests were, and took a vote on what we will shoot and write about!  Math!
Background on the person who let me internship with Him.
He has been teaching for 20 years at Lee Eleementry, he has two beautiful children, and his goal in life in teaching is to get every child to reach or suceeded their goal. By allowing me to intern with him, he is giving me the chace with work with people one on one. get to know my “clients” know how to plan meeting with protential clients, and getting myself orgnized. You will be surprised on how demanding 4th grades our. They are your bigest Critique. 4th grades are not affraid to speak thier minds on what they feel, and that’s why I wanted a harsh critique.

12:20 to 2pm.(every day)

Continued to shoot.

23rd to 25th last few days of shootin
working on the last few things to be photographed, and then i can begin the editing process.  In this overall shooting  range, i have learned to use differnt equipment. I have had to improvise many times…..sometimes the prop needs to be standing up, and the client didn’t know what to do, i had to improvise and come up with a sloution.

12:10 to 2:30 (every day)

26th to7th:

Shot a few re-do’s, and photographed the last of the clients projects if they were absent.
12: to 2:30 every day

30th-3rd
started the first round of editing. First i imported the photo’s into lightfroom and did a quick batch proccessing. then from there, took idividual shots that needed to be merged, put together so the ordeal will go faster, and in a smooth orginized manner.
12:00-2:00pm (every day)

6th to 10th
Did more editing on my laptop(dell) and backed up all files. Having trouble with some sceens, some were slightly over bexposed.

11th (saturday)   editing from 3pm to 10pm.
Had to replace computer screen shots with other shots, and worked on smoothing outlines, to create one final image

13th to 17th
More editing!   I have over 60 images to create, and 120 singles to merge. Crazy!   some photo’s are taking longer then expected.  I learned that some clients are impatient.
12:00 to 2:oopm everyday

20th to 24th
Been trying to finleize pictures, but the weather has been unpredictable. So editing at home for  another 6 hours. We had photographed the class picture in the fish tank!   so i have 33 students and one teacher to be cut out, and re-sized to fit in the fish tank!    :)
12:00 to 2:00pm daily
