 Hello, my name is Allie, a soon-to-be junior at Milpitas High School and 2024 Summer Intern with Milpitas Unified School District through the City of Milpitas' Milpitas Youth Force. I started this blog, "Intern Insights," to share my experiences while offering a student perspective throughout my internship this Summer! Good afternoon everyone! I’m now in the middle of my second to last week as an intern for MUSD and just finished up my work at the Rose Child Development Center, which provides early education to preschool students ages 2 years, 9 months and older in both part-time and full-time programs. Working with CDC Coordinator Vanessa Espitia, I was assigned to take photos of students during their school day on the playground outside and in the classroom. They were very energetic and carefree, as I captured them playing on the slide and in the sand box. The kids would love to pose and look straight at the camera while I was taking photos. However, I have always felt as though posing for a photo is stealing away from the perfect candid shot that occurs only when the camera isn’t seen and no one knows they’re being photographed. Of my top images, my favorite was of a small girl who just happened to have this water net sitting on the top of her head. Her smile was contagious and made my heart melt at the sight. As part of the photo editing process, I crop (this means trim) photos to only have key eye-catchers and adjust the brightness and contrast. This is also when I delete any last minute photos that even after editing, don’t meet my photo standards. In the end, I saved 12 amazing photos, which will later be used by MUSD to help promote the CDC program. The Rose center was truly filled with just so much good energy and happy vibes as I’m sure the Sunnyhills CDC is very similar. What a great place for any young child to begin their educational journey. You can find out more about the CDC with this link. Ultimately, I had a great time doing what I love most, photography and photo editing.Tune in next time to see what I’ll be up to next! Comments are closed.
