Interview 1 -Reflection
The most important think I learned from my interview was that if you own your own phtotography business, you need to have insurance and a specific contract. People will sue you for anything, so have the contract on your side. And the insurance is important incase your equipment is stolen or breaks. Also, to do what the customer wants, but still stand your ground. And to be outgoing and nice with the clients.
5 Minute Presentation Reflection
1) My presentation was what I learned from my interview, which was the business part of photography. I think that stood out because I was the only photography person who talked about that.
2) I think the most challenging part was thinking what to say, because what you say in this presentation, you cant use and be graded on in future ones, so I needed to be careful of what I said.
Discussion Questions
1) I think the most challenging part was, besides trying to figure out what to say, was the time limit. I thought it would be easy since it was only 5 minutes, but it was harder to think of what to say and how much to say about it.
2) The difference literal and interpretive is that I learned a lot from my interview, but there were only a few facts that were most important, and I had to interpret which were the most important and why they mean so much to my topic.
3) From this, I will learn to better manage my presenation time, and to be better prepared. I ended my presenation with "And thats the end of my presentation" and I know that was bad, so I need to learn to end presenations better.

Interview check ins
1: I am interview Susie Ellingson. She is a family friend who owns her owe photography business in Pittsburg. She built the business herself and does a variety of work, from wedding photography, to senior portraits, to baby pictures. I have seen her work, and I love it. I thought she would be a good person to interview becasue she did exactly what I want to do, which is make my own, successful photography business.
2: Some other questions I would ask Susie is what kind of classes she took in college, whether she majored in business or photography? How long did it take for you to get well known? Where did you start? I would ask her questions about how she got her business started and what advice she has for me.

Topic Choice
My topic is photography. I chose this topic because it is something I want to do with the rest of my life. I got interested in it a few years ago. As time went by, I did get better. I got good at taking pictures of flowers and wildlife because of where I live and where I spent most of my time. I live in Mt. Baldy, and wildlife is everywhere, whether it be the flowers in our garden or the stream less than a minute from my house. I like to take pictures of people, though I want to get better at it. Mostly, when I take pictures, I take pictures of random things, like something I see in the street. From this project I wish to gain a better understanding of the techniques involved. The biggest and most important thing I wish to accomplish is what part of photography I want to become a part of. As I said before, I can do wildlife well, but I want to expand what I can do, and learn different styles; wedding, portrait, underwater, fashion, or even photojournalism. I am having trouble, at this time, deciding what I want ot focus on, and I hope that this project will give the time and insight into myself that I can decide on what I really want to do.
