Notes

Today I am doing my set of notes on historical pictures that have influenced or helped our country in anyway.
Next, I will be going through all of my information that Jim Mendenhall provided for me, and I will include them into my notes.

time line

Today I worked on creating my time line.
I had to go back and get all the things we did at the beginning of this trimester
and add them into it.
im still waiting for a response from Jim Mendenhall.

im taking off!

So far everything is going really good.
Jim Mendenhall from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is helping me out a lot.
I read over his long resume which was incredible!
Today I sent him all of my questions.
He will be answering all of my questions and hopefully he will help me with setting up interviews with 1-2 photojournalist that work with the news paper.
Next I will be working on deadlines. Once i figure out when I think they are good, I will pitch them to Savido and get her ideas on them.

  An quality of photography is Timeliness — the images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events.
