Burrough’s paper on the Cut-Up Method of Brion Gysin was really interesting to me. One of the things that stuck out most was his comment that many times a photographer’s best pictures are taken accidentally. This thrills and terrifies me all at the same time. It thrills me because I needn’t be absolutely perfect in [...]

William Zinsser discussed a topic that is very important for me as a budding journalist- being concise. I’ve always been verbose. When I was younger, my mom would complain that I took to long to get to the point of the story. I so wanted her to understand every detail that I actually made it [...]
