.And the search for internships begins...

.At Bennington, during the months of January and February, we have what is called the Field Work Term. During FWT, students intern or work in their area of interest all over the world. I have no clue what to do. My mother begged me to choose a place in the continental US.

.I contacted the internship email address at Flaunt magazine and the tourism organizations for Papua New Guinea and Palau. Random. I know. But hopefully something better will come along. I doubt Flaunt magazine would take me. Interns for huge magazines are usually college graduates or have a great resume.

.My other option, which began as a joke but has somehow become slightly more serious, is interning for a major porn studio in production. In a totally non-sexual way--as non-sexual as it can be--I am fascinated by the porn industry. It's huge and brings in massive amounts of money, but is so incredibly bizarre. Recordings of other people who probably don't know eachother or have feelings for eachother doing incredibly intimate acts as if it were nothing. It's a form of legal prostitution that no one can escape. Basically, I think it would be incredibly interesting. And as my concentrations are directing, photography, and sort-of anthropology, all are relevant within this internship. I'm trying to decide whether I want to take myself seriously on this or not.

.Oh, me. Oh, my. Take a bow. Take a sigh.

My english teacher's TA last year, a graduate from Oberlin and a current student at Stanford said that he wrote his senior thesis on something relating to the pornography industry and he found it to be a very interesting topic. He seemed to have this newfound view of the whole industry in general, maybe you will too.

You should get an internship in SF!!

.That's just the thing... if I interned with a big porn studio, the one I was thinking about is in SF! Sigh...

.Oh, so my advisor is thinking of setting me up with an established photographer at his studio in SF if I have a place to stay... The other option we talked about is a photographer in NYC, but I would be staying with my rich-distant-relatives-by-marriage in Bronxville. That's about as far from NYC as San Jose is from SF.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SF. Estabilished photographer. Studio. [SEX].

No I'm kidding. But really consider it.

There are always people looking for roommates in SF.
Its SF!

Re: ."I care not for that which you have built for me."
.Yeah... but roommates equal paying for rent. I don't exactly have that kind of budget since it probably won't be a paying internship.
