Josephine's Sweet 16 - photos .

So Justin and I recently covered Josephine's lovely Sweet 16.
We were lucky enough to watch the dress rehearsal the night before! This helped us set up our shots for the actual day.

I'm no professional photographer, but I shot a few behind-the-scenes photographs.

Here they are:

Pieces of a puzzle...

I see everything that’s going on now… the whole process, the hierarchy of tasks and duties… the pieces of the puzzle of making a documentary come together. I can do this – the whole process – I can help with the research beforehand, pitching ideas, creating questions, going out on shoots, manning a camera, asking the questions, creating a script, managing logs and staring at time codes, knowing the ins-and-outs of my own project(s), stepping into the edit room and really piecing it all together… I see this process, and I want to do this. I really do. I’m learning so much here at CNN, especially about the whole PROCESS surrounding it all – the one semester of Documentary Filmmaking was not enough! That was just a window into a huge opportunity that excites me. Do I have what it takes? I can do anything that I set my mind to. And if I love my job, then all the better. I can do this.

But first, getting a job.
