Photo Specialist

I got my B.F.A in Photography with a minor in Women and Gender Studies. My name tag declares that I am a photo specialist. Although in real life, I rarely hang out in the photo department. I don't really know the equipment as well as I should and I get kind of nervous. Today, though, I was awesome! I took three passports and didn't really mess up. Well, kinda. But I knew how to fix it. And I told some woman the film she brought in wasn't 35mm (although it wasn't 120 or 110...my manager said it was "safety" or "specialist" film. I don't know what that is.) and I told her we didn't have the equipment to process it for prints so she should head over to Ritz. I changed the paper a few times, released orders, printed tags, and felt pretty good about being pulled off the register. Technically I was supposed to be on the floor, but the Head Photo Specialist had a recurring and needy customer so I really had to help her out. I think things went relatively smoothly. I have much more confidence over there, and it was actually pretty fun. Yea for specializing in photos! Which reminds me, I have to order collage prints and photo gifts for Xmas.
