LeMay Photography is busy with senior, family, child, business headshots, and real estate photography. School starts in the middle of this week, to the chagrin of many students. I never liked to go back to school except during the summer of my senior year. I was the senior photographer or the only photographer, and we had to get ready to hit the ground running for the first issues of the High Comet. The school newspaper would be published a couple of weeks after school started. During my senior year, the Journalism class spanned two class sessions allowing a significant amount of work to get done. I was able to make a couple of friendships that I wished had lasted longer than high school. During those two hours, I would walk my film down Main street to the photography studio with the school contract. The camera I used was a loaner from that studio; it used roll film and got only eight shots on a roll of film. The photography studio had to supply the film for me to use, and they didn't want me wasting it. So a professional photographer critiqued my emerging craft every eight shots, telling me to move in closer, change the angle, or increase or decrease the exposure. They would develop my film and print proof sheets, and I would deliver them to the newspaper and yearbook staff, who would then place orders for the prints they wanted to publish in the newspaper and yearbook.
