finding peace today

2007-04-10T11:49:00.000-07:00

So today after what happened yesterday i had to go and find peace. So the only place i can find happiness right now seems to be when i drive and walk threw Rock Creek Park. So this is one of my pictures i took today that made me forget about things from yesterday.

An awfull day

2007-04-09T15:48:00.000-07:00

Ok so 3 weeks ago the photo editor of the The Politico was fired. Which concerned me at first i didn't know what was going to happen. The first week went bye and all the shooting i had been doing was stopped my first thought was the new editor just got there and has to settle in. The second week i send him a email letting him know the days i was available he send me a email that nothing was going on. The third week i did the same thing i did the week before letting him know when i was available, wait he did email me back the next day that he need a hearing shoot and asked where i was and to call him. So i called him and then he said that he already reached the staff photographer so again i was not needed. Growing frustrated i did send him anything the third week which was last week didn't hear from him at all. Then today came the day where i needed to get some sort of answer for what is going on or what else i could be doing to help and really be working on my internship. So this is the email he send me today made me feel like hell and being blow off because now i won't get any credit for whatever i did. I guess i wish he would have told me this earlier...

Dear Jens,

Ericka wrote me the other day and I wrote and told her the same thing. 
Patrick no longer works at the Politico.  After the two of you
initially contacted me I spoke with both the executive editor and the editor in
chief.  Neither was aware of an intern program or budget for one on a
staff they oversaw and expressed a concern over insurance liabilities
should something happen to an intern while working in the name of the
Politico.

In the three weeks I have been at the Politico I have used one
freelance photographer to shoot a single assignment.

Basically I'm sorry you were promised an internship that didn't exist
by someone who is no longer at the Politico.  It's not a way you should
have been treated, nor a way to expect to be treated by anyone else.  I
don't know what I can say above and beyond that.

This is a newsy town.  I would continue to shoot every day, talk to
fellow working photographers, learn from them and try to make the best of
a bad situation.  I would be willing to write to your professor and
explain what has happened and that it had nothing to do with anything that
you did or didn't do while working here.

Good luck to you.

Regards,
Bob Reeder

Sally Mann

2007-03-23T11:57:00.000-07:00

So wensday night i got to see The movie What Remains at the Corcoran. It was a Movie that documents Sally Mann work and life. I think this was really interesting and great to get to see the movie. Especially after seeing the exhibit that was at the Corcoran couple years ago. So it was great how her process to getting to that point was. Seeing how see goes threw her process and exposing her own insecurities about her Art. I think it was great then so she her and talk about the movie. I thought the people that where there got to really get into her life and her experience something that brought me closer the exhibit that i saw couple of years ago.

old draft finally posted

2007-02-21T11:58:00.000-08:00

So to day was such a long day today. It all started Thursday morning waking up with horrible dream of everything going wrong with my show i could worry about. The i had to go to class which was pretty good didn't have to think about my worries about getting everything together. But i realized tonight how much i love bar tenting because for the first hour i was really worried about my mattes and hopping that when i would go pick them up tomorrow they would be ready because i over worry about everything. But once people started sitting at the bar they started talking i finally stopped worrying about all the things that could go wrong this weekend when i was going to finish framing my picture for the show. I just realized that i was glad to work tonight even thought i almost called out so i could worry more about the things that haven't happened yet this weekend and have no control over.

I finally got my paper today from BnH which is good so that means i can print my last two print for the show. I think I'm fairly relaxed right now but will just go to hell by Thursday i think that when i realize i have the weekend to put everything together. So we will see.

frustrating day

2007-01-18T19:40:00.000-08:00

I had a bad shooting today i felt like i was there for no reason i just felt like i was doing nothing new i couldn't see anything. But i really like this picture of Dakota its just makes me laugh because pretty much threw out my process of taking pictures of him he never really looked my camera and just posed and smiled at the camera like a portrait. It just makes me laugh. that's all i get from this day and from shooting today.

These are some of the images i did for my story for my class. The story is about a teacher and how alot of them have to work two jobs.
