My plan is to follow in the career path of my mentor, which is photography. Although I want to have a focus on sport photography, I would still need to take certain steps to get me to that position. My plan is first learn how to market myself and products. Even if I had the best work out there, I need to know how to get people to look and buy my work and service. So I plan to major in marketing and business. This will give me knowledge I need to efficiently and effectively market myself. The main task I would have to do is really hone my skills and practice a lot. Going to events, whether it be festivals, games, concerts, etc. The experience is what will make me a wanted photographer.
As far as the mentorship goes with Jim Haynes, there have been activities where I really enjoy the time I spend there. My favorite is working on and completing collages for sport teams for the seniors. They are fun because we create them in photoshop and Iv'e come to get a knack for projects in photoshop .On the other end of the scale, the most boring tasks are usually the required ones. This includes sorting pictures and organizing folders in the NikonView program. It's tedious but without doing it, everything would be scattered. So everything usually balances out at the end of the day.
