5 days done, 5 to go. I’m working a lot at the Citizen. I usually arrive at 8 or 9 in the morning, and leave after 9pm. I make the most of the time I have here!

I do a lot of portrait. I’m kind of happy with that. That is my weakest side and that gives me a good reason to practice. And since I’m interning, I can do all the mistake that I could not do as a staffer. But the fact is that the portraits are not Pulitzer price winner, but they turn out pretty good. I get used to doing them, I’m more at ease. I know more how to talk to people, how to direct them, how to place them, how to watch for my background, my light, ect.

Tomorrow, I’m heading to the country to shoot something for the “home” section. A lot of shots to do, a lot of pictures should be showcase from that assignment. Seems a pretty big assignment. I’ glad they are not sending me to simple and not important assignment. They seem to have enough confidence in me to send me to some serious jobs. Today, I went to the Coroner’ inquest about the sinking of the Lady Duck, an amphibious vehicle that sink with tourists in the Outaouais River, making 4 deaths. That’s not the kind of thing that they can say “Well, the intern screw it up, so let’s send one of our staffer for a re-shoot.” It’s a one shot deal. I get the picture or else they can’t use arts for the story.
