This weekends lesson was names and always asking for them from everyone you take photographs of. Also meeting the deadline and how crucial it is. For every minute you are late on a deadline the press is pushed 5 minutes forward. A busy weekend it was as I pushed forward on an assignment to shoot people in the park. My biggest challenge behind this for me was talking to random people and getting names and so on, small groups are easy but parties are a problem. I am going to push through this shy issue and do the job.
Onwards and upwards as they say. The photos from the parks came out well behind every corner was a surprise, people and events that I didn't expect to be there yielded good photo opportunities. Today especially in a last minute clinch for a feature photo for tomorrows paper in the local section I found a rally going on down at the capitol, even though I shouldn't have been I was surprised. It was small but good enough. This is where the lesson came into play. I went and shot this event briefly then left for The Olympian. Learning that even in an event as such I should get names and info on the even and as always try to get some literature on what was going on. Anyhow lesson learned and lucky I was able to go back and get names and info after getting none in the first place, there won't be a next time for that to happen.
