I have reached my limit! The Hell I have!

OK! So I was going to upload some photos that I have been shooting while I am here in San Jose, but photo host, Flickr, has told me that I have reached my limit for this month, but I only uploaded 6 pics and it said I could upload at least 10! What the hell is that? So I guess I can just write about the great time I am having down here in Cali. It does not get any cooler than this. Seriously, I am working with a very talented photo staff that is so open and so different. I would love to come work here period because I feel like I could learn alot here. Richard Koci Hernandez has taught me that if you want to do something you need to just do it. Don't wait for someone else to teach, but figure it out on your own. Dai Sagano has taught me never to take yourself too seriuos, no matter how talented you are. He is really funny. There are so many good things to say I can't even think about the bad things. Today I had an internship collaboration on a story about middle school girls participating in a technology camp hosted by IBm to promote females in the math and science careers. We had a lot of fun and I had fun shooting, even though I feel like I came back with some cliche shots. I think once I get a little more comfortable I will experiment more. I also heard that there are some photo openings at the Chicagop Tribune. They are looking for some young photographers who are willing to travel, cause there staff is older and they have family and I guess they are having a hard time getting them out there. I don't see why, but maybe thats because I am young and that is exactly what I want to do. The photo world is definitely a tricky thing to navigate. But I having so much fun just messing up and finidng my course again. AHHHHhhh, these are the times of our lives. Last weekend i boogied down in San Francisco and today I am hanging out with the faboulous and famous photogs of the Mercury news. and oh by the way go check out. www.mercurynewsphoto.com its awesome. It motivates me. ;0)
