Every day in a newsroom involves meeting a deadline.
Sometimes I have to shoot, edit, and write multiple assignments by one deadline. If I’m lucky, I’ll have my assignments spread out for the 5 o’clock broadcast and the 6 o’clock broadcast, which eases the burden. Days when I have any semblance of downtime longer than a few minutes are rare.
I had one of these rare days last week, and took photos of things around the station where I work.
Some spare time (far less precious than downtime) gave me a chance to play around with photoshop. Which led to these oddities.
I love my job, but taking time to shoot for myself is a must. Downtime is regenerative. Not only does it help me wind down from the pressure of deadlines, it sharpens my creativity as well.
