And thus begins my work at the Portland Tribune.

Day one was a major flop. I got settled quickly and anxiously waited for an assignment to shoot (or at least shadow), and after a long day of no shows and not-enough-time-to-make-it-to-the-actual-event assignments, I went to sleep unfulfilled and with the beginnings of disheartendom.

Here's what I was able to shoot over the next few days for the PT:



Press Conference about the search for a young boy named Kyron who has recently gone missing (a week before I arrived in Portland).



A vigil for Kyron.

A graduation ceremony for the students at Westview High School.


And a Press Conference at Jefferson High School, where public figures discussed the recent developments in the decisions to close various schools (possibly Jefferson). I don't know much about this situation yet, having just moved here, but it looks like it might be interesting to follow.
