(1)my photography practicum is coming up.
prac·ti·cum(
prăk'tĭ-kəm)
n. A school or college course, especially one in a specialized field of study, that is designed to give students supervised practical application of previously studied theory:advanced practicums in teaching reading.
[GermanPraktikum, from Late Latinprācticum, neuter ofprācticus, practical. Seepractical.]
it's very similar to an internship; i will be working with a non-profit organization who needs my photographic services for a promotional project of some sort. it begins on april 7th and i will be working with the organization until a week before graduation.
we received a list of organizations on friday: planned parenthood, angell (
mspca), and a ton of others that continue to apply for our services each year. meda has never applied, but i'm going to be building a pitch to them over the next couple days.
my practicum adviser said she would get in touch with them to introduce our project while i write my ideas out. she said it's rare for an organization to turn a student down (hey, free promo work!). i just have to find a pitch that avoids anything that may cross the confidentiality line. she said she's really excited to see how i could combine the two passions i have. so am i :)
if they don't need me, my friend and i might apply for planned parenthood and/or the wildlife preservation, but i'm really hoping for meda. i'll let you know it works out.
(2)this is a personal photo project i would like to do. i'd like to collect scales (old, shitty, broken, new...as long as they don't have athlete's foot) and do a smash up shoot. if it comes out well, maybe i can use it for something - if nothing else, maybe my gallery show in may.
if you click above, it'll take you to the craigslist ad.
feel free to pass it on to anyone else
who might be interested in getting involved!
thanks!
