Week Two

The second week of internship began better then most weeks ever do. When I walked into the lab on Monday, Carole was there with something on the counter. She told me to go over and look at what she had. There were two camera bags and a plastic bag. Altogether they contained two 35mm SLR cameras, 3 lenses, a macro converter, two flash systems, film, batteries and a photography book. I was completely and utterly at a loss for words. I couldn't thank her I how I wished I could, but I tried. When Ms. Morris came for the site visit, she was overwhelmed to hear that Carole wanted to donate her cameras to the school.Monday gave me so much motivation I was working faster then normal the next few days. Breezing through many vials of sorting. Jim taught me the basics of how to use my cameras. Jenna and Kris helped me look for jobs on craigslist. My parents came in this week to see what I was working on. I gave them a tour of collections, the lab and an exhibit. Jim spoke to them about the projects. It felt great to arrive to work and take pictures in Balboa Park before going in. Carole gave me even more on Thursday and gave me the donations for the school. The week began and ended in the same way, amazingly.
