Today was a fantastic day! Even though the weather was touch and go, I came out with some great photographs of a fox on the beach. It was pretty strange actually, this little guy got so close to me and didn't frighten easily and was only startled by sudden movements like a camera switch.
I learned a bit on the business of freelancing today. How to gauge the value of the work you do by the your living costs and work expenses. Like travel, hours spent, equipment, assistants, lighting and all the needs of a professional shoot. It is amusing to me at how people underestimate the value of a photographers time, from the stories I was told and the things that I have read.
Tomorrow I take on another assignment, for a story this time on the parks around Olympia and the people using them. Hopefully everyone goes to priest point or Kenneydell Park tomorrow because that is where I will be.
The experiences I've gotten from this internship are priceless and I am really enjoying everything I've been doing and learning, it brings life a lot more into focus for me. Here is a shot that I took today of the fox and a link to a couple of favorite shots one of which will be in Saturdays paper.
