I got a job! My very first one and I am very proud, especially since it was getting down to the wire(my internship is finished next Friday), and I hadn’t gotten very many responses to my resumes/inquiries.
I am going to be a photographer for U.S. Newswire, a company that writes/photographs/distributes press releases for non-profits, government agencies, and corporations. So I’ll be shooting conferences, openings,special events, portraiture.. etc. U.S.Newswire is a division of Medialink, which is based out of NYC.
The office is right downtown in the National Press Building, right
next to the offices of other papers and magazines. I live about 30
minutes from there now in Virginia, so I am going to be moving into
DC next month, and right now I’m looking at places to live there. I
might be living with $$, or if some unfortunate turn of events occurs, alone.. so I will need lots of friends visiting me. And Mich, I promise promise promise I will either:
A) Move to NYC within the next 4 years
B) Visit you every single weekend OR as much as is humanly possible
But you know that DC has perks too… a great rock music scene, a whole street dedicated to dance clubs, and millions of fun people to meet! Plus, I’m going to be getting paid to do photography!
