Last night I had the opportunity to take photos at a resume workshop for the College of Business and Economics (CoBE) at UH Hilo. That was an exciting time even though I was an unofficial photographer! My professor only asked me several hours before the workshop started if I would be willing to bring my camera and take photos. It took me a while until I gave in to the idea. I thought that it would be a great opportunity to try something different and on my own to see if I really like it. And I did.
Explore (Think and feel)
What did I like about it? I liked the feeling that I was helping out the CoBE on a larger scale. It wasn't just taking photographs. It was the idea of taking photographs and then being able to send a selected amount of photos to someone in the UH system who could use it to promote the school... or simply even just to share the news with others. It was a great feeling! ... Even though I know my photography skills aren't that great.
... I was thinking about it some more and I just realized that I am more of a project-oriented person. This "unofficial" photoshoot was like a small project to me. It did not feel like work, although it could very well have been considered work. I think I like projects because there are these mini deadlines that help me get to the final deadline -- again kind of like a big puzzle.
Share (Thoughts)
The best thing that I liked about being the event photographer last night was being able to help promote an event in some way. I cannot emphasize how much good feelings I had last night. Maybe I can be a photojournalist. Maybe I can be a promoter of some kind. Maybe get into the field of marketing or communication. I think I may have narrowed my choices of industries to work in. :)
