Internship #10

Part 1: Documenting collaboration
Post photos of collaboration at your workplace—this may be people working together or the result(s) of people working together.
Well, I can't literally copy and paste the results of Monday's collaboration, but my POL was on that day, so I had an entire presentation that went on for over an hour, and I displayed my slideshow. Jeff and Betsy helped me by making sure I had everything I needed, and helped me set up, and I presented. Betsy and Jeff also answered questions and engaged in conversation with Randy.

Part 2: Writing about collaboration
In the course of one typical workday, how many different people do you directly work with? How many people are indirectly affected by your work.
On the typical work day, I just work with Jeff, and by myself. A lot of my work is independent. As for who is indirectly affected by my work, I'm not sure I can say. I can list plenty of people who are directly affected by my work, since photography is a personal connection. But indirectly is a little harder to come up with, since this is a personal, self ran small business.

Describe your direct collaboration with others—how does it go & how does it influence the work?
I work directly with Betsy and Jeff. Betsy teaches me more about the photography side of my work, and Jeff gets me working with the business side of ot. After I've done photography with Betsy, I notice my pictures get better and better, and I become more satisfied with their turn outs. What Jeff teaches me about gets me thinking a lot about business and it's connections to the world, and reminds me that not every part of business is meant to be extremely fun or enjoyable. After I've worked with him, I usually add more to my business plan, and get more specific and organized with the work that I do.

Describe your indirect impact on others through your work—there are probably many people you never actually see who are affected by your work. How does this happen? How does this influence your work?
Well this is an easier question to understand and answer. I'd say my work indirectly affects Jeff and Betsy's clients. We practice photography together, and we've both been inspiring each other for new pictures. By doing this, the creativity in our pictures grow, and Jeff and Betsy's clients I'm sure will appreciate that. This inspires me to take more pictures, practice more often, save up for a new lens, and network my photography as well.
