I'm not counting the sports stuff for the paper. Mostly because I've got something more along the lines of what you're facing.

Black tie event honor donors to Winthrop's different art departments. It's a big deal. I get the email asking if I want to do it and freak out. With sports stuff I can have a bad day and as long as I get one or two good shots I'm fine. But I need these to all be spot on. Even if they're not expecting that, I am.

I talked to the guy who recommended me (a Vice President at the school), and he tells me that if things go well they might look into using me for other things. Combine that with a fortune cookie I got that said "You will continue to take chances, and be glad you did" and the $200 I'm getting for the job and I jumped on it.

Maybe if I had the chance again I would have tried to get a little more money for it. But when you consider that I would have been doing a volleyball game that night and I'm seeing it as a paid internship type thing, it's not that bad. Plus I don't have to worry about prints or anything. Just take the shots, edit, and hand them over on a CD. Or two, which is more likely with the way I shoot things.
