Today I was given the opportunity to cover a presentation by the Jewish Faculty and Staff Association. It was titled ” 77 Years After : Never Again Anti- and Racism” My assignment was to photograph the entire event as well as the guest speakers.The event was taking place in the atrium auditorium. Because of the location, it was very difficult to work as a photographer effectively.
Prior to the event I was told to just bring my camera to work. Based on the last few times that I was told to bring my camera, I brought my equipment for outside. I wasn’t prepared to shoot inside events. I didn’t have a flash on my and the lens I had wanted suited for what I needed. However I didn’t let that stopped me from trying my very best. I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if I would have let be an excuse. I have to do what I had to do, to get the shots I needed.
I crawled climbed under and over everything to get the shots that I had needed. I apologized to several people for going back and forth between the aisle. I was physically draining for someone my size.However it was fun. And I definitely enjoyed the presentation and speakers. After the event I spent my time editing photos and staying prepared for the next task
