Photography

October 30, 2023 by sagentile

This was my first week back after a two week hiatus. Since I’m getting back in the groove of things, I was assigned a short project of photographing and labeling hats and hatboxes, as well as entering them into Past Perfect.

First, I labeled the hats and hatboxes. Since hats is an article of clothing, I had to write their identification number on book tape and then sew that on the hat (just enough to where it can be undone if necessary).

Photography took a majority of my time because I had to focus on getting as many angles as I possible can (a lot of photos were taken for fourteen hats). With those photos, I organize them into the Collection Images, edit and insert the photos into Past Perfect. Entering the information and images into Past Perfect will be a side project I’ll continue as I work on my main project.
