Many-o-pictures have been added to the Friends section so check 'em out. I have also kept the tradition of my last WEEKS WORK. I love working for a daily newspaper so much. The Star Phoenix will give me sooo much good experience. Words can't describe how fortunate I feel to be able to shoot every day with purpose. Last Monday was my first official day (though the Thursday before I went to Prince Albert for an assignment to take pictures of the people from Cumberland House who were evacuated due to flooding). My first assignment was to take pictures of a weather station near Sutherland Beach in the University research crops. All of the weather sensors were really spaced out so it was hard to "fill the frame" with content so I just used the sky as much as I could as a background and took a picture of the lady in charge of research at the station with a cool weather sensor beside her... the picture isn't important, its what happened after that makes it the "perfect first day".... When I got back in my car I accidentally left my camera on the roof and....guess where this is going..... I drove off with my much too expensive camera on the roof of the car! The ladies back at the weather station chased after me and one got in her car to chase after me but it was too late. I would have to say that I drove a "surprisingly long time" without the camera falling off but when I made a left turn going 20km/h I heard a sliding sound followed by a thump! Incredibly luckily though my camera survived the crash with only a $40 lens hood breaking (due to it taking all of the impact). So I left my first assignment with a damn good story to tell! The next day my highlight was photographing three actors who were starring in a comedic opera being put on later in the month. I was told that I needed to make six different photos as they would be cover of The Saskatoon Sun, as well as the entertainment section of The Sun and The Star Phoenix. Since the actors were used to being on stage and working with lighting they had no problem with me taking a little more time and setting up an umbrella flash which really helped light the dark staircase in the Bessborough Hotel. The actors had lots of character and were fun to photograph. The Opera is called "Die Fledermaus" and it opens July 16th at the St. Joseph high school theater. Wednesday was my first day where I was the only one on for the mornings. During the summer I am basically taking over for the staff photographer's holidays and so starting Wednesday it was completely up to me to find and make all the pictures for the paper until 2pm when the next staff photographer would take over for the night shift. Luckily on this day Saskatoon received record rainfall and so hundreds of people's basements flooded from all of the water and sewage backup. I had heard on the radio that the underpass underneath the University bridge was closed down due to flood water from all the rain so I quickly drove down their in the morning and took pictures of all of the water. The pictures made cover of the newspaper so I was pretty damned excited about that! After the bridge I went to a couple houses that had flooded basements. I had forgotten my rubber boots so I had to roll up my pants and walk bare foot through sewage poop-water! It was gross but I was more concerned about getting the photos. The people at the house let me use their bath tub after to wash my feet off which was nice. I will be keeping rubber boots in the trunk of my car from now on! The next place that the reporter and I went to was two houses down. The daughter had woken up in the morning in knee deep sewage water and after walking through the brown water to get up stairs, the daughter and her mother watched as the water rose higher and higher until it reached waist height and even tipped their deep freezer full of food over on its side. Pretty gross! Luckily I didn't have to walk through that water. Anyways I am story'd out and am going to bed so I can do it all over again (less the poop water hopefully!) July 1st, 2005
