BY TY KOSLOWSKI, ETIWANDA HIGH SCHOOL

Today, I learned that not everything goes according to plan. Sometimes you have to scrap interviews, sometimes you have to film in a moving bus. However, in order to be a successful journalist, you have to “go with the flow” and improvise along the way to get the best possible material for the segment. Although our day began somewhat slowly, it picked up speed very quickly. Meeting and introducing ourselves to the PBS staff and the West Ranch High School students transitioned to uncomfortably managing a camera in a moving bus, which brought us to filming in front of the school that uses “Wi-Fi on Wheels” and finally ended with us interviewing a family involved in the program and meeting the small community’s dog, Hachi. However, I learned more than just improvisation in journalism. I learned tricks with filming interviews, how to better capture sound, and most of all, how to work with people I have never met before. Overall, I had a lot of fun with my friends, both old and new, and I feel that this learning experience will forever remain a fond memory in my mind.

This is old but the ex-managing editor of breaking news and original content at AOLNews.com posted an article about the leaked Kim Jong Un assassination scene from The Interview (before the full movie leaked) using two gifs from my blog without linking back which is ironic for an orignal content editor and not exactly breaking news considering it took him 20 hours to repost that shit.

But the larger effect is I think a result of a more subtle shift in artistic mindset, from “I am a photographer using a camera to document X” to “I am an artist who is using a computer/scanner/camera to mine an archive of found imagery, using those images to build studio installations and sculptures, which I then rephotograph multiple times and reprocess with a software algorithm” or some such equally complicated combination of steps, processes, and intermingled, mashed up ideas.
