monday number two

Today began another week of J-School. I'm inundated with work already, but I'm also having a lot of fun. I've already had two assignments where I had to go out into the street and find a story to photograph or record on video. I'm still uncomfortable pointing a lens at strangers because I don't want them to be uncomfortable. Two people were uncomfortable enough to refuse to let me record them. One professor told us that we have to try to be charming beggars and to use flattery if all else fails. Next time.
