It's been about a month now at the Chronicle and I already gained a years worth of experience. I can sum up all the yelling, bitching, and disappointment over the past four weeks into 4 basic tips for improving your photography at any skill level
1. Get close
2. Be aggressive
3. Be patient
4. Take me somewhere I can't go
I was really impressed by staff photographer Nick da la torre, when I tagged along with him during a portrait shoot on Friday..I took note of his confidence and how he carries himself during a shoot. I really admire him for his bluntness, while this takes some getting used too, I understand that he is only trying to help me. I have included some video from the shoot on Friday.

Almost forgot! I finished my year long 365 project!
