The experience, on the whole, has been very surreal and I learn more and more with each assignment. Everyday I walk up to the office and remember all the other days when I stood outside of it... like this time in 2011:<br />

I waited a month to blog mostly because a lot of the assignments I photograph are published a week or so after they are shot. I've also been very busy and finding time to blog was difficult.<br />
<br />
I wasn't going to have any assignments for the first week that I was there but <a href="http://www.markkauzlarich.com/home" target="_blank">Mark Kauzlarich</a> (my fellow photo intern) asked if he could photograph the Belmont Stakes weeks in advance. Two days before the event I was also put on it. On Friday morning <a href="http://changwlee.com/" target="_blank">Chang W. Lee</a> picked Mark, <a href="http://www.samhodgsonphotography.com/#0" target="_blank">Sam Hodgson </a>and I up from a Starbucks near the NYU dorms and brought us to the tracks. Chang taught Mark and I how to place remotes along the straight away, something I'd never done before but found really interesting.<br />
On Saturday, race day, I was told to look for features until the reporter, Dan Barry, arrived and then went to work with him <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/08/sports/belmont-stakes-american-pharoah-amid-the-mud-and-straw-workers-on-the-backstretch-savor-a-special-day.html?_r=0" target="_blank">on his story</a>. Dan and I went to the back lot and watched the big race with stable workers. When the race happened I didn't know if American Pharaoh had won or not until a few minutes after it had ended. Most of the people in the room didn't speak english and it was hard to know if they would have even been rooting for American Pharaoh or for one of the horses they work with. All in all, I was so grateful to have been a part of this experience. <br />
<br />
The rest of my time since then has mostly been spent trying get acclimated to New York and to improve my photography. I think I've finally accepted that I'm never going to be satisfied with how I do on each assignment. There will always be room for improvement, and I will always be the first one to point out where it is (although I'm always open to more critique).<br />
<br />
I've never been too big on words, so here are a few selects:<br />

Surprisingly, I've come to enjoy doing building mugs. I think it's too easy to take a bad building mug so I try to come up with the most outrageous ideas about doing them. To get one shot I went door to door in Red Hook trying to find someone that was home and would let me stand on their rooftop or terrace. It was trying to photograph this empty lot that is getting developed into town homes but it was surrounded by a giant fence. When I finally found someone who was home and willing to let me into their home I was so gratifying... even if the photo didn't end up running I was glad to have gotten it and to have done something I never would have tried before. This particular photo didn't run but was part of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/28/realestate/when-public-housing-is-across-the-street.html" target="_blank">a large spread in last Sunday's paper</a>.</div>

Second from left is Jason Lentz and to his right is his father, Melvin Lentz, a.k.a. the king of lumberjacks. Jason took second in the Lumberjack competition in Central Park. I loved this assignment because I was expecting it to be a bit more ridiculous, maybe a wee more hipstery. But instead, it made me feel like I was at home. A lot of these guys are from really rural Appalachia and took the competition really seriously. They reminded me of friends from back at home (in Vermont). </div>

My time at The Free Lance-Star came to an end on May 21. The same day I shot my last assignment I flew to Southern California so I could go to <a href="http://www.hilaryswift.com/#!/video" target="_blank">Slab City</a> and visit the subjects I spent the fall documenting. <a href="http://scheidmedia.com/" target="_blank">Sarah Bourscheid</a> and I went back last weekend to<a href="http://www.hilaryswift.com/#!/portfolio/C0000KLiC3h4Tw5U/G0000NtOh41tOkYw" target="_blank"> take some photos</a>. Sarah will be going back over the summer to finish the documentary film that we began.<br />
<br />
My last two weeks in Virginia were bittersweet. I really felt as though I was just getting to know the community and I started to really develop some more story ideas but alas, <a href="http://www.sarahannjump.com/" target="_blank">Sarah Ann Jump</a> has taken over my internship and I know she will do amazingly. I am beyond grateful for the experience I had at FLS and have difficulty articulating how much I loved my time there.<br />
<br />
I'm now living in Brooklyn, New York. Today was the first day of my internship with the New York Times and despite being overwhelmed and still rather intimidated, it was a lovely day. I don't start getting shooting assignments until next week and am eager to get back behind the camera!<br />
<br />
Here are some photos from my last two weeks in Virginia, see photos from Slab City <a href="http://www.hilaryswift.com/#!/portfolio/C0000KLiC3h4Tw5U/G0000NtOh41tOkYw" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Originally from upstate New York, Dwinelle moved to Fredericksburg, Va., with his wife where they lived together until she died in 2008 from Alzheimer's Disease. Dwinelle says he hasn't changed his home decor since she began her "long goodbye" because it makes him feel like she is still around.</span></div>

<br />
The last two weeks have gone by very quickly. I've been very busy with the internship but also have begun to understand the importance of actually taking time off to do things that have nothing to do with photography. As much as I love working and I would love to make pictures all the time, it was really nice to take two days completely off last week to go on an adventure. I climbed a mountain and ran down it and went to a lake and read a book and ate ice cream and it felt like summer. It was beautiful.<br />
<br />
My time here in Virginia is winding down but I'm keeping my energy and enthusiasm up.<br />
Here are some images:<br />

I think the last two weeks has had me really getting out of my comfort zone. When I was very young, my siblings and I would try to catch bees using plastic lunch baggies... I suppose I got stung a few too many times because I've always had an unnatural fear. Two years ago I stepped on a nest while photographing my friend rock climbing. I was too afraid to go through the bees and back down to safety so I tried to climb straight down... which resulted in me falling about 20 feet and breaking my ankle. See evidence of that <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201857349426317&set=a.2356354319200.2104365.1560480107&type=3&theater" target="_blank">here</a>. So when I had to photograph at a bonsai tree farm, I dared myself to get as close to the bees as I could. </div>

In the last three weeks my photos haven't turned out as well as I hoped they would (but isn't that always how it is). I was still working on the sports portraits for a bit of the time (which clearly I'm no genius at) and then I was given a bunch of high school sports assignments. I'm excited to be done with college now so I can go back to putting all of my energy into my work. I have less than a month left in Fredericksburg... it is so strange to me that the end of this chapter is approaching so rapidly, I still feel like I just got here.<br />
<br />
There were a few other athletes I photographed but these were my favorites... This was a huge challenge for me. My biggest (and perhaps only) regret from college was not taking the sports or portraiture class. It is where I am weakest and it shows. Although through doing this assignment I feel like I got better at portraiture. I certainly learned more about lighting (with the help of my <a href="http://www.adrianelliottphoto.com/" target="_blank">roommate</a>).<br />

<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00478315980682472326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219957496720504655.post-84099312845498946582015-04-05T16:16:00.003-07:002015-05-20T08:12:33.891-07:00Weeks 12 & 13–– Features & Funerals #VirginiaSwift<span style="text-align: center;">I photographed a vigil last Monday. Elijah "Buck" Ball was a 15 year old living in Caroline County, Va. He was shot in a YMCA parking lot by another 15 year old from a rival high school. Buck's brother was with him when he died. This being a small community, the sudden death of a high schooler is a big deal. To have the death be caused by another student in the county is an outrage. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">If I thought that the vigil was intense, it was nothing compared to the funeral. Just a week after his death, Buck's family held an open casket funeral service for their son at Caroline High School. Over 800 people showed up... As time has passed, we've found out more about Buck's death. It seems as though he had made enemies through social media. Word had gotten out that he was a snitch and some kids wrote to him on twitter saying they were going to put his face on an RIP t-shirt... which came to fruition. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Other than the images here, what I mainly photographed in the last week were sports portraits for the athletes of the year. I can't share them yet because they're not getting published until this week but I learned something very important: I am not a portrait photographer. I'll talk more about my experience next post. </span><br />

Leshawn, 19, was one of the first people I talked to at the vigil that was really close with Buck. She told me he was like a brother to her. Here she is at the funeral after walking by his open casket. </div>

Ernest Woodson III was the preacher for the sunrise service... it may have been 30 degrees, there may not have been many people there, he may have locked his keys in the car and the power may not have been able to be turned on for the keyboard... but Ernest made it work. He kept a positive attitude and carried on, it was nice to be around such positivity. </div>

<br />
Obviously there are a lot of photos of children, most of my brain keeps saying "cute kids are boring" (thanks Mr. Cooper) but I think kids are interesting to photograph because they are so expressive. The evening I spent at Green Thumb farm with the four youths was probably my favorite assignment of the last two weeks. I found myself running around with the kids, getting chased by a little lamb named Jimmy and jumping on hay bales.<br />
<br />
Recently I've been thinking a lot about where I want to go in the next few years which has also spawned a lot of retrospection. Maybe this comes off in the photos a little, maybe not. I may not be sure yet of where I'm going but I believe that even when you think you know exactly what you're going, nothing ever happens like you expect it will...<br />
<br />
I'll just try to take even better pictures next week and hope for the best.<br />

I can't say I'm a great sports photographer, but I can say I think I'm getting better! I'm far from where I hope to be but progress is important.<br />
<br />
One of my first assignments for the <i><a href="http://www.fredericksburg.com/" target="_blank">Free Lance-Star</a></i> was to photograph a house that had burned down and <a href="http://www.fredericksburg.com/news/local/spotsylvania/year-old-dies-trying-to-save-grandmother-in-spotsylvania-house/article_4975161e-9ac8-11e4-a5aa-0f34eac0ec8e.html" target="_blank">killed two people</a>, a 12-year-old girl, Roanna ("RoRo") and her grandmother. The fire was accidentally started by RoRo's six-year-old brother, Tyler, who was playing with matches. Tyler, RoRo and their father escaped from the burning house before realizing that their grandmother was still inside the home. At this time, RoRo ran back into the house to try and save her grandmother. Neither made it out. Today I was assigned to go with another staff photographer to the memorial/funeral of RoRo. It was possibly the most uncomfortable assignment I've ever had but was certainly an important opportunity to learn. The family was very supportive of us being there as were the attendees. Here are a few images from that experience and the rest of these last two weeks.<br />

My feeling about my photos this week played out in the face of the girl second from the right.</div>

<br />
I photographed my first swim meet. I know I'm never going to be the greatest sports photographer, but I do enjoy the challenge. On Friday I went to a Burlesque show and photographed it (with permission). The state of Virginia is trying to stop Burlesque shows from being produced, so it was an interesting opportunity to photograph something that might be on its way out here.<br />
<br />
Over the weekend I caught the plague that's going and was somewhat disappointed with the images I took while out on assignment. But I was also shooting video along with the stills for the first time in a long while, so I think that may have had something to do with it... here's to hoping that the next time I get sick I can function better!<br />

<br />
This week brought many new challenges and experiences. I saw some friends, met some of my heroes, mailed over forty postcards and photographed several truly resilient and interesting humans. It's nice to be able to focus on my photography again. After having been so immersed with the Slab City documentary (trailer coming soon), it is a relief to be thrown back into photography. However, I'm struggling to be content with anything I photographed this week. I have this quixotic view of what my images should look like and when it is not achieved, it can be frustrating. Thankfully, working for a newspaper means that there are new assignments (thus new opportunities to improve) everyday.<br />

Annnd my first ever self portrait. I needed to give a headshot to some people for an announcement and I didn't have one and my roommate was busy so.... this is my best attempt. I used a tripod to hold the camera (obviously) and then used a light stand with a towel on it to pull focus for where my eyes would be. I think it works well enough, I've never pretended to be a portrait photographer, after all. </div>

I graduated from college (mostly), moved out of my Lary Potter Under the Stairs room in Ventura to an actual apartment in Fredericksburg, drove across the country, left the people I love most in the world, ate some really good Christmas cookies and got some really encouraging news about things to come in the future.<br />
<br />
After spending New Years in Vermont, I moved to Virginia. I live above an Irish Pub & Restaurant with another photographer, Adrian Elliott (his work is incredible, checkout it out <a href="http://www.adrianelliottphoto.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> ). I've found it really comforting to be back in a (relatively) small town. Fredericksburg has just under 30,000 people in it, over four times as many people as the town I grew up in... but small by California standards.<br />
<br />
I began my internship with the <a href="http://www.fredericksburg.com/" target="_blank">Free Lance-Star </a> on Monday. I shot a few assignments this week and was rather frustrated with the images I was making until last night when I photographed a wedding dress fashion show. I'm really looking forward to the next few months here, I think there is a lot of room for me to grow as a photojournalist and I'm really excited to be working with such a talented staff!<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, here are some pictures I took this week.<br />

When I was 19, my favorite musician was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcQ2XmNvjk4" target="_blank">Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls</a>. I was going to college in Iowa and when my friend, <a href="http://dyingscene.com/scenester-profile/?user=crmulhern" target="_blank">Connor Mulhern</a>, asked me if I wanted to photograph a Frank Turner show for <a href="http://dyingscene.com/">dyingscene.com</a>, I was very enthusiastic about the opportunity. I met up with Connor in Milwaukee, WI, and we interviewed and took pictures of Frank and the opening act, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tjqpE_uVvk" target="_blank">Andrew Jackson Jihad</a> (AJJ).<br />
I photographed to the best of my abilities for someone who didn't know what an aperture was. Although I was dissatisfied with the images I took, I became enamored with the experience. This show was the inciting incident for what would soon become an obsession with photography. An obsession that would eventually take me across the country to Ventura, California to study photojournalism.<br />
I think it is significant that I photographed AJJ exactly three years from when these images were taken. I took the first ones at a very formative time in my life. Now, as I prepare to graduate in December, it feels like an important benchmark. Today, I am just as unhappy with the images as I was in 2011. My hope is that in three years I can photograph AJJ again and feel just as dissatisfied. If there is one thing I've learned during these last few years, it is that dissatisfaction breeds growth and powers improvement. <a href="http://www.hilaryswift.com/#!/portfolio/C00004Net2JXjWic/G0000zBPXWJ2WknY" target="_blank"><b>LINK TO THE GALLERY </b></a><br />

I realized that I haven't blogged since the end of Reno.<br />
<br />
Since then, I've been unable to shoot as often as I would like and certainly not as much as I did over the summer. My main focus has been put towards shooting a documentary with <a href="http://scheidmedia.com/" target="_blank">Sarah Bourscheid</a> and <a href="http://cmstills.com/" target="_blank">Chris Martinez</a> out near the Salton Sea in Slab City. The documentary is about a woman named Moria and her husband, Ben Morofsky... I won't say anymore now, but I'm very excited about it!<br />
<br />
Anyhoo. Coming home is weird. No matter how long you're gone for it always seems to be strange. In these few days that I've spent here before I go to the Eddie Adams Workshop, I have been very nervous. I've found that the best way for me to deal with any emotion is just to photograph... so this is what I've been trying to do a lot of. Some of the things I've been posting are on my <a href="http://instagram.com/hlswift" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM</a> account, but here are the rest!<br />

Sports forever. Last week almost all of my assignments were sports related. Even the nutrition lab I went to was full of sports supplements. I have one week left as an intern at the Reno Gazette Journal and I still haven't had an assignment I didn't like. However, I will forever struggle with sports and portraits. I know I just need more practice but I hope it doesn't take me too long to figure out this whole sports action and posing people business. On Saturday I went back to the office to edit photos I took of the Tour de Nez bike race and I stepped outside to grab something from my car and there was a rainbow and the sky had turned purple and it was the most incredible light. I ran back inside and told my sports editor that I was sorry but I had to go make some images. She just laughed and told me to go on. I'm happy that my pictures from the crazy sky aren't as beautiful as the actual event of seeing it was... something are made better by memory. Anyway, here are some attempts I made at not being boring. Take a look.<br />

Instead of posting photos that I submitted for the paper, I wanted to highlight the people of Hot August Nights. Sorry, no golf photos. I think that this event really brought out the true, authentic people of Reno. I've always been one to try to interact with my subjects but this week I made a grand attempt to remain invisible and unknown to those I was photographing. I went up to them afterwards to get their name so they knew eventually but it was a tactic I just wanted to try out.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Hot August Nights used to be a weekend riddled with crime. One year there was a riot, since then the police have had a really strong presence at the event. Despite their attempts, I've been told that this event brings in massive amounts of illegal prostitution and drug use. To begin this, meet </span><span style="text-align: center;">Lenny, Tammy and Coco. Lenny and Tammy have been married 30 years and in Reno for almost the same amount of time.</span><br />

So this week I photographed golf. I found that it was actually more interesting than I would have imagined. I've never found golf interesting... wasn't it Mark Twain that said "golf is a good walk spoiled." However, over the course of the four days that I photographed the American Century Championship, it got interesting. It was actually pretty fun to be running all over the golf course seeing different players advance and trying to get certain shots. I shot mostly with the 500. I still haven't been able to order a monopod so I did all hand held... This is my new sport. After many funny looks and a lot of really bad pictures, I feel like I have a better grasp on how to use it. I learned a lot from this whole experience, you won't see any of the images I took from my first day at the tournament here because the images were uh... not up to par, as they say. I got a lot better but I still have a lot of room to improve before the PGA tournament comes through in two weeks. Oh yeah, this was the "celebrity" golf tournament, mostly athletes and obscure actors... but I guess that may have helped in making it a little more interesting for me. <br />

This week was full of new adventures. On Wednesday I got to go hangout with some physicists doing research on plasma using this really cool (and expensive) machine. Then on Thursday I went up to Gerlach (where Burning Man takes place) and fell in love with the town and the local folks that live there. This week I also went to my first fire! and then another one the next day. The first one was pretty sad because this guy and his teenage son lost everything in their apartment the second fire was a wild fire but I'm not allowed to get close to those so I didn't decide to put up any pictures from that... but maybe next week there'll be another one.<br />
<br />
It's been in the hundreds (or close to it) almost everyday for the past week and a half leaving us all, in the immortal words of an old Vermonter, "sweat'n like a stuck pig." So I've taken to the road for my two days off and went to the coast for a day... I'm writing from Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco.<br />

As much as I really enjoyed photographing the rodeo... I'm excited for the next assignment. I also spent some time with x-boxer, Joe Bliss. He was a really interesting guy to talk to and he shared some boxing tips with me. I also photographed my first crime scene this week, it was a drowning victim that the Sparks Fire Department pulled out of the river. The guy had been in the river over night and it wasn't a very pretty sight to say the least, a real tragedy.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo. Here's some of what I did this week!<br />

I have officially began my internship at the Reno Gazette-Journal. This town is simply rampant with photo opportunities. Aside from the incredibly beautiful scenery of this place, I've found that each person I've met has an interesting story. Here are some images I've taken both in the course of work and just on my own time.<br />

Let me know what cha think!<br />

Originally from the state of Washington, the two were in Reno for two weeks before they headed out for Utah in the final stretch of their trip back North.</div>

Since my last post much has happened. Most noteworthy, I have moved to Nevada! I will begin my work as a photo-intern for the Reno Gazette-Journal on Wednesday, the 11th.<br />
This past weekend I photographed an event here in Reno known as the Pudding Bounce. The idea being that people come together and wrestle in pudding. Although there were meant to be several matches, it was a colder day than expected and there was only one bout that happened early in the day, but I was able to catch the clean up! Regardless it was a very interesting night including several DJ sets by local performers. This is just a small take from a much bigger set. Eventually I'd like to add some of these images to a larger series I've begun to do on young Americans (David Bowie reference intended). <a href="http://www.hilaryswift.com/#!/portfolio/G0000t_Mhrt1CKSs" target="_blank">SEE PHOTOS HERE</a> or click the link below:<br />

We broke apart once we got there, Mischa found the riot police and I sought out the students. Fireworks had just been sent off and the police reaction to this was teargas and rubber bullets. Aside from being blinded, it was still completely dark where I was, making it difficult to see let alone be able to photograph anything. Several party goers showed me the rubber bullet casings that had been fired at them earlier while others screamed at the injustices of not being allowed back to their homes.<br />
