My summer in New York

I originally thought this blog would only be for my studies abroad, but it dawned upon me the other day that I might want to keep track of my adventures around New York City this summer. So to update everyone, I am commuting (what an adventure) into the city 6 days  a week until August 7th. Four days of the week I am working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a special exhibit on the fashion designer, Alexander McQueen. The exhibit is drawing thousands of people a day, and me and my colleagues are there to handle the people and the long lines. It has been fun, similar to what I did at the Smithsonian, but a bit more active. The show certainly attracts interesting people, so the people watching has been entertaining to say the least.  On my other two days in the city, I am a photo intern at New York Press, a weekly alternative publication in the city. Interning for a smaller scale publication has great benefits. I have had photos published each week in the paper since I've started. I'm sent out on all kinds of assignments, and I will put the links here for the articles with my photos posted online so far. I am also having photos published in two local papers they put out that are available by subscription only.
