I've really enjoyed my internship this summer, i have about 2 weeks left. However I am ready for it to be over. I miss the journalistic side, I miss diving into the story and capturing that moment the brings it all together. Weddings are happy moments, and couples are beautiful when they're in love, but I just don't want to chase around girls in white dresses and roses for the rest of my life. I mean, I knew that about myself going into this internship, so I don't feel let down, I just have this aching for something more. With the knowledge and experience I've learned, I feel a lot more confident in my skill, so this internship in no way has been in vain... I just know I want to do something different.
However, I don't really think I want to drill it out working for a news paper either, but I suppose we'll all have to start somewhere. In fact I don't really know where I want to go as in a career with a photojournalism degree... I want to do something that makes more of an impact though, I don't want to take pictures that get shoved in an album and collect dust, I don't want to take pictures that come with the daily news and go out with the evening trash, i want my shots to make a difference, for something greater. I want to capture the essence of life, I want to tell the story of a struggling mother, or a lost orphans or a faithful missionary team.
But who knows where any of us will end up? I just know I want God to be recognized in my photos, I want to speak in His image with His image. That's all I know for certain.
