Creative Loafing Internship

Hello,

Now that I am settled back into life in Atlanta, it became time to figure out what to do for Fall. I had signed up for two classes and was all set to take those until about a week before classes started I found out Creative Loafing was looking for a fall photography intern. I've applied before and didn't get it so I figured I would apply cause why not. I was lucky enough to get a reply back! The rest of the application process was rocky as my laptop and hard drive both crashed when I tried to send him my portfolio and resume. When I finally got my resume sent to him, he still wanted to meet me so luck must've been on my side.

During the interview he asked some tough questions that I think a lot of young aspiring photographers don't want to hear. Mainly, "Are you sure you want to be a photographer? It's a tough world out there where a lot of people struggle." or "Do you have a plan on how you're going to succeed?" It's a hard question to answer because it touches on so many other questions like "What if I fail?" I honestly don't remember my exact answer, just that for the time being yes this is what I want to do. I have business coming in already and it pays well enough to live comfortably enough. It allows me to travel, which is what I really want to be doing.

After critiquing my work, it was time to leave. I had an assignment to shoot an event, send him 10-15 images and a little writing about the event I shot. I chose to do Antpile's last show at Wonder Root which was Monday night. You can see the full post here. I must've made an impression because the next time I heard from him he offered me the internship! Congratulations to me.
