Noemi de la Torre, Bradley University, Peoria IL, Summer 2004. |
||
| I had a lot of fun these two months working with John. And i would strongly encourage anybody thinking about becoming a photographer to do this internship. Especially the full-time internship. Being here everyday, I learned alot more than if i had worked part time. |
||
| Most enjoyed | - | Least enjoyed: |
| "The shoots of course! Sometimes I'd get to go on as many as three different shoots a day-all different things. In the morning I'd be at the capitol and a few hours later I'd be at XM watching a band play. I think the Reagan Funeral was my favorite, it was such a cool experience." | - | "The intern projects. There's a reason why they are designated "intern projects". Reconciling John's checking account - I guess it was educational but if i have to go hunting down down one more missing deposit..." |
| What I learned: "Never say to the client, "Oh, I've never heard of XM. I just moved here so I'm not familiar with the local radio stations yet." Rule #1: Keep quiet! But seriously, I learned a ton. In these two months, I've learned more than I could have in a semester's worth of classes. This internship taught me the business side to photography, how to apply what I'd learned in school to the real world (ie. make a living). Plus, I learned a lot of cool Photoshop tricks."

respects, it was a 5-hour line, for Noemi, it was a 20 minute in-and-out,
and then off to the next assignment. |

to perform.

Capitol Hill, Noemi uses the little-known underground subway which
connects the Capitol and Senate office buildings to make the trek
around the hill faster. |
