Update
August 6th, 2007
Recently I have been assigned a page every Friday at The Santa Monica Daily Press. My job is to walk around different parts of Santa Monica and document life as it is, and as usual, it has been refreshing meeting others and catching moments. My husband always likes to plan and plan some more before doing a task, and in doing photojournalistic assignments his personality has rubbed off on me and I have been doing that also. But in the “day in the life of” essays I think my editor is challenging me to think of solutions at the moment and, for this assignment, not to worry about so much preplanning. By this time I think my editor knows my weaknesses, so what he seemingly does is he keeps on giving me challenging assignments so that I can strengthen my weaknesses. It’s great, especially after I complete the assignment and think of what I’ve learned.
Here are some pictures from the weekly photo essays:

You have a good editor. Infrequently, we do similar stories about small towns we cover. It’s always fun to explore a small town and look for its personality through the residents.
