So, today was my first "official" day with Jacob. I went over to his studio (home) and just installed some software for him, told him I'd organize his office, tested out his new camera--which I'll be using for video, and edited wedding photographs with him.
Not much, but it was very cool. Basically, I'm going to be going with him on photography shoots for his weddings, and my first one is this coming Sunday, and just assist him in any way, sometimes film him at work so he can promote his business, and on my own, I'm going to experiment more with cameras, film and photography. If everything goes well, I'll continuously be working with him at his home and go on as many photo shoots as possible.
Also, probably none of you (minus, what, two people) know that I'm doing a second internship as well. This one isn't for school, but I am going to take what I learn from there and add it to my SRP. I'm following Eren McGinnis, a documentary filmmaker, who's been lately focusing on a lot of Latino issues here in Tucson. Right now, she has a film that is closed to being completed called "Precious Knowledge" and I'm just really going to help her on the facebook page and advertising. Then, Eren's helping in a Mexican Film Festival--called Tucson Cine Mexico--that's going on from March 2nd to the 6th, and I'm just going to be a volunteer at the festival, which, everyone who can, should come to. Here's the link for dates and locations: http://tucsoncinemexico.org/
Moreover, I'll be helping Eren on some filming that she's going to be doing on some recent projects. Later today (Friday), I'm going with her and just helping and watching the filming. I'm not going to be doing anything on set, really, but just aiding with personal appearance releases.
So, I won't bore anyone any more, since that's really all I have to say. Maybe next time I'll have something more detailed an interesting, like all those science kids.
What is a Senior Research Project?
At BASIS Tucson, seniors have the chance to propose an independent research project that takes place off campus during the last trimester of the year. The seniors whose proposals are accepted write their own syllabi and then head off into the world, to a site where they conduct their research while interning with a professional in the field. Those of us stuck on campus follow their adventures on this blog. Now that the projects are over, we are all excited to attend their presentations. The schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, May 11, 6-8 PM

Saturday, May 14, 10-12 AM

Oh, so he's Jacob now? Aren't you climbing up the food chain? Should I call you Ms. Bales?
Yes, you should Samone.
Actually, he told me to, so we don't look ridiculous at a wedding.
