update

One other intern and myself have been working really hard to meet the deadlines for Joel's 2 part retrospective book. It is a huge project and since I am leaving soon to head back to Sarasota, the studio manager wants my help in interviewing new interns. The work is almost done it just needs to be finished up.

I have gone from working 2 days a week to 5 days a week.

Recently, I was able to watch Joel being interviewed in his studio. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes of an interview. I saw a few techniques that I recognized from my digital storytelling class.

The studio is very busy. There are fast approaching deadlines for the retrospective book. I am searching for files, renaming, and organizing. I also learned how to use a drum scanner with 8x10 negatives as well as 35 mm. Cleaning dust and scratches from files has also been a task. I am learning a lot about what goes into making a photo book.

So far my duties have consisted of working on prepping images for review for a book project. I have been working with chromatic abberations, white balance, resizing, and working with levels and curves.
