When I thought of people who make this school work, I naturally thought of the people who feed us. Hungry students do not perform as well as well-fed students. I talked to Deb Scanlon, the face of Holloway Dining--aka, the woman who swipes your cards when you walk in and asks, "how are you today?" She was incredibly easy to talk to, especially as she enjoys what she does. She also says that the students are her favorite part of her job, so it was easy to get good audio--she had a lot to say, and I felt she was very eloquent. I am not as good of a photographer and I still struggle with taking good "action" shots without being awkward. They usually end up blurry even if I'm trying not to be awkward.
The thing I struggle with most now is managing my patience with the camera, with soundslides, with audio, and with audacity. Once I get going and work on my own, I find that I don't mind putting together these shows; however, that is dependent on how quickly I can learn to the new medium. I became much more frustrated trying to transfer my audio and photographs on the computer than I was simply interviewing and taking the photographs.
