Long Days

I've been up to my chin in schoolwork, so not too much research has been done. Maybe I'll set some time aside this weekend.
However, by sheer accident, I found this website: Humansofnewyork.com
It follows a photographer who takes portraits of people around New York. Some simple, some extreme.
It was nice to find though since everything I've looked at regarding New York has been practical.
I was able remind myself one of the core reasons I am leaving. The experience. In fact, it sort of pushed me to want to research a little more since I sort of got discouraged after I received almost no emails out of however many I ended up getting through.
With my boyfriend slowly feeling more comfortable about the move, there's nothing stopping me with plowing full speed ahead. Well, you know, except for life here and now.
Speaking of , I should probably be studying for that math test tomorrow.
Till next time,

Day 1. Research

So I am considering this Day 1. I've emailed so many photographers in the NYC area that I can't keep them straight anymore.
I got a positive response from a newspaper called the Uptown Collective.
http://www.uptowncollective.com/
I won't actually be LIVING uptown, but that doesn't matter too much.
The other minor problem is they seem to be a young paper. And as such, their contributors are unpaid. But they do offer exposure.
From my previous experience working for the Capital City Villager in town, it'll also mean that I'll be meeting other professionals who are working on the project in their spare time, as well as getting an in to certain events. What better way to learn about my new city than with a press pass?

Unlike Cap. City (while I love them dearly), that exposure might actually MEAN something in New York. It's not the best option, but it's a start.
Here's to many more open doors,
