Photo Editor For The Week!

So, while Katie is off in Germany I am filling in for her as Photo Editor. I have feelings about this: YAY! and EEEEEK!
It's going really well so far though. We're working on the Music Issue, out October 7th and we're really on top of things. It's great that it's all coming together so easily. I was really nervous that there would be some huge meltdown while I was standing in, but so far so good (picture me here knocking on my desk).
Today was especially fun because I got to (I guess supervise is the right word?) supervise a photoshoot that we were doing for the Imperatives Opener. The shoot was at a Guitar Repair shop near Berklee College of Music. I was swarmed by students with guitars on their backs while walking there and the building seem a little questionable at first because there was no sign. But I managed to find the right place. The repair guy was quite the character too. He was definitely one of those guys that has a good sense of humor once he warms up to you.
The photographer for the shoot was Michael Khachadoorian. He was really fun to work with and I think we came away with some really cool shots. Check them out in the October 7th issue of The Improper.
The rest of the week seems like it will be pretty calm. I'm doing a dining shoot on Thursday at Bon Savor in JP. And I'll be scheduling the style shoot for next week.

That's it for now!

Quick Update

Sorry, still slackin' a bit.

Anyway, quick updates.....

I've been busy doing Dining shoots for the Improper. Did Teranga this week and I'll be doing Tangierino this Tuesday. Look for images in upcoming issues. We've been working on the Music issue too, should be preety cool. Lots of up and coming Boston bands featured.

I sent in my application for the Newburyport Fall Harvest Festival! I should know soon if it's been approved. I'm really excited! Katie (the photo editor at The Improper) is going to do it with me too. It should be really fun and I hope we sell some prints. I ordered all the prints I want to sell. I now am the proud owner of 140 5x7 prints! There's a funny story too...So the estimated delivery date was 9/9. So that day I checked the status and it said that it was picked up from the facility in North Billerica and was on the truck for delivery (this was at 10:30am). So I listen for the truck in the afternoon and check the status, nothing. Finally that night I hear a truck out front and then look outside and there is my package. Mind you, it's now 10:30pm! Apparently it takes 12 hours to get from North Billerica to Salem. Anyway, they got here safe and sound. Now all I have to do is order the mattes, matte them all, sign the mattes and package them all up. Whew! Should be a good time!
Remember the festival is October 11 & 12 in Newburyport MA. That's Colombus Day weekend (Sun and Mon). Hope you can make it.

I guess that's it for now.
I'll seriously try to be better about blogging.

Newburyport Fall Festival

After visiting the Fall Harvest Festival in Newburyport for the last three years, I have decided to participate! I’m in the process of getting myself a tent and all the display materials. I of course then have to apply (hopefully they’ll accept me). Then I have to get everything all set for selling. I’m not sure yet which prints I’m going to sell and how many of each I’ll have out but custom orders will certainly be accepted. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated, especially when it comes to what to sell them for. I’ll keep you posted on the Festival, but pencil it in. It’s the Sunday and Monday of Columbus Day weekend.

Internship Updates

Things at the Improper are great. I've been to two photo shoots recently. One was for the Fall Fashion issue which came out today. We did it at the Liberty Hotel at the Esplanade Suite on the terrace. The photographer was Kim Kennedy who was great to work with. He had great energy and was really exciting to watch. The models were amazing too…all three of them (this includes Sarah the falcon who made her editorial debut). Check out the photos in this issue with John Slattery on the cover.
Last week I went to a shoot in Wenham with Keisha Whitaker (Forrest Whitaker’s wife). For this shoot I assisted the stylist by helping her organize the clothing, taping shoes (they do this so the bottoms don’t get scratched up). Keisha was so nice! It was really fun to see a shoot with a celebrity rather than just models. Although I guess models are celebrities too, right? The shots will be out in the Lux Life issue out soon! Check out issues for Dining photos by me as well. I don’t do them for every issue, but keep an eye out.
In case you missed the scavenger hunt story that I took photos for and also participated in I can give you a brief synopsis: Running around Boston on a school bus turned limo, complete with stripper pole, classy! Being hit on by a random guy from Dorchester, who conveniently gave me the nickname ‘Vermont’…All in all it was a great time. I have copies of the story and they’re on my personal Facebook page, you’ll just need to get out your magnifying glass to read it. I'll try to post the images here at some point.

Business Update

Well as you know I still haven't officially gotten the selling aspect of my business up and running yet, but I'm working on it. I've been racking my brain and putting feelers out trying to figure out how much to charge for prints...not much luck! So without that information I'm sort of in at a standstill. I’m working on getting an ad up in the movie theatre back home in VT. I hope to have it up for the new movies opening this Friday so if you’re in the Manchester area go to a movie and check out my ad!

Sorry I've Been MIA...
