September-Monthly Post

So for this month's post, I thought it would be cool to share some of the photos I took during my baby cousins' baptism. Their baptism was on the 14th of September. And what I did was basically document the whole event using pictures.

This is a photo of little baby Anthony being held by his mother Susie. His sister Angelina is sitting right next to them along with their dad and god-parents. 

During this photo, I caught Susie and the kids get distracted with something on Susie's dress. 

This picture shows little baby Anthony being baptized. As you can tell he really wasn't expecting what was going to happen. 

Here's little Anthony with his god-father after he was baptized.

Here's a picture of Anthony's sister Angelina being baptized now. 

And finally Angelina after she was baptized. I guess she wasn't really expecting it either.

1.  Who is your mentor and where do they work?
My mentor is Jack Bohlka, he is self employed. His studio is named "Colour by Collier" 

2.  What five questions will ask them about their background?
1) What first inspired you to the type of work you do today? 
2) How would you describe your photography style? 
3) For the type of photography you mainly do, how important is marketing the product you create? 
4) What kinds of techniques do you use in order to market your product? 
5) What kinds of techniques do you use to stay ahead of your competition?

p.s. This is a major work in progress. So these questions will most likely change later on.

(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
From what has happened, I have begun to gain my mentor's trust for future events that he may do in the future. For example, I helped out my mentor Jack by filing and organizing the mug shot pictures for the yearbook.


(2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
Most of my research has been about how to run a successful business. So I guess my research has helped me improve a better understanding of the business aspect of photography.

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
What has worked for me so far is that my mentor basically works at iPoly two days a week and that is very helpful for when I have questions.


(4) What hasn't worked so far?  
I'm having a slight issue with what type of research to look for.

(5) Finding Value: 

•  What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ)

•  What do you plan to do for mentorship?  If you haven't found a mentor yet, then discuss where you are currently looking and who you are talking to to find it.   

My potential EQ is "What is key to running a successful and profitable photography studio?"
What I plan to do for mentorship is with Jack Bohlka, I intend to tag along with him with any photography events I can help out with and I also intend to help him out with his studio in any way along with his ROP class.
