Howdy Ya’ll,
So I just finished my fall quarter Photo Editor position at The Daily Northwestern. It was fun, but it was busy. To put it in perspective, I used the charticle format that appears in The Daily Northwestern .
By The Numbers:
550: Estimated hours worked (+/-25)
50: papers produced
20: most photos in one paper
12: Weeks worked
9: football games photographed
7: NU administrators asking for my photos (Henry, Burgie, Morty, Amy, Pat, Doug, and Chris,
1:minimum number of photos in every single paper
Some memorable photos:
1) Schapiro chilling outside of Lutkin in September
2) Sherrick McManis’ pick at Purdue that got him the nickname Pickmanis
3) John Legend performing at Welsh-Ryan arena.
Needless to say, it was crazy. I loved it, though. So now it’s over with, I’m going to start keeping up my website and my blog for all my countless readers out there.
Updates on the rest of my life:
In the next week, I have a one-day photo internship, should hear back from the Hearst people, the Boston Globe, and Washington Post about internships and awards. We’ll see what happens with all of that.
As one of the managers for the NU Women’s Basketball Team, I need to let the world know that we defeated #15 Depaul this Tuesday! It was a great win because Depaul went on a 16-0 run in the second half and we still won! Although it is early in this long season, it looks like we have a chance to be playing when it matters.
I still have my sights set on that 3.7 g.p.a., but we’ll have to wait until finals to see if I actually succeed. I ecstatic that it’s within reach after classes ended.
I’m having a journalism movie marathon over break. Shattered Glass, Good Night and Good Luck, The Pelican Brief, The Killing Fields, and All The President’s Men are my first five on my list.
I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was great.
I’m thankful for every day that I have.
Until next time, Good Afternoon and Good Luck.
-Ray
