I just started as an intern at Portland Magazine last week, and I was really excited to find out I’d be going on a photo shoot my second day here. The place was close enough to walk, but since I’m not well aquatinted with Portland, I had to Mapquest it. Even then, I almost got lost after some random guy tried hitting on me and I lost my concentration. After I finally found the place, I brought out the camera. It took me at least fifteen minutes to get it to work. (This is a simple point-and-click digital camera set on automatic.) I’ve been working with digital cameras and setting everything by hand for four years and I can’t get one that is already set and ready to just click and take a picture for me. I finally got some good pics so check out our October issue and look for my photo cred!

In all fairness,the digital SLR’s are a little intimidating if you’ve never worked with one before. AWESOME for getting a photo in the magazine on your second day, I’m a little jealous!
