Last week and this week were all about, you guessed it- researching! Researching photos for the Heart of the Country opener, researching pictures for the Country Vet article, researching pictures and potential articles (like drive-in theaters across small town America) and so on. During all this researching I started reorganizing the photo archive binders and creating new ones that would make searching and looking up past shoots easier in the future. When you read a magazine you see the pictures and don't question how they got there, or what they add to the overall meaning of the story. This week, I learned all the work that goes into making that effortless flip of a page happen- and there is a lot more time that goes into it than you'd think!
This past week I did a lot of the same, but we're working on closing the October issue so it was mostly starting to look up new articles and ideas for November. I printed out some more photo sheets for October's HOTC opener, and scanned some pictures from Country Living UK's past fall issues to see if they had anything we could use. I started contacting people from the Winchester Mystery House and The Mark Twain House for an upcoming article- "Historic Haunted Houses".
Overall it was a busy two weeks! I did get to go on a food photo shoot which was really fun to watch and also delicious (think fresh baked popovers). I'm still loving my time at the magazine and I feel like the time is flying by faster than I ever imagined. I've been helping around in a lot of different departments and I'm excited to see what the rest of July will bring after the October issue closes and we can begin working on November!
