I am super excited about this opportunity to gain some real world experience!<br/>I got my camera back just in time, I thought, to get to work. I shipped my camera out to Nikon at the end of April to get it serviced and was happy to have it back— Unfortunately it is NOT fixed, and is in fact a little worse than when I initially shipped it back out— and all for the low low cost of $250…<br/>After talking to the head of Noctography, we’ve come to the conclusion that the problem is probably the sensor…. <br/>All in all, hoping to get that $250 back as a credit towards the ACTUAL repair of the camera. Trying hard to keep the faith in Nikon and my future with this camera.</p>http://blog.gwendolynmercer.com/post/23058379386http://blog.gwendolynmercer.com/post/23058379386Mon, 14 May 2012 17:24:03 -0400NewspaperIntelligencerUnpaid InternshipCameraNikonPhotojournalismPhotojournalistNikon RepairNikon Repair Horror Story<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m30o3rJBvC1r076v8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>cotton candy</p> <p>i just made this into a puzzle for my grandma. i think she’s gonna like it. :)</p>http://blog.gwendolynmercer.com/post/21765536827http://blog.gwendolynmercer.com/post/21765536827Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:52:00 -0400atlantic oceanbeachbeautifulbluecloudscoastcotton candygwendolyn mercerloveoceanpink skyskysummersweetwarmpierjettyrocky beach<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2y23yMA5L1r076v8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Here’s one from a trip with my buddy Calum.

I&#8217;ll be re-doing the portfolio and breaking it up into sections so that people are able to find what they&#8217;re looking for, hopefully, a little easier&#8212; this change will make it possible to add more of my work without weighing down the feel of the page.</p> <p>For the first time in about five years, I&#8217;m having business cards reprinted. That&#8217;s really exciting for me! My dear friend Calum Wright is working on the design for the back of the cards. I&#8217;m really blessed to have such a talented designer helping me out! </p> <p>I&#8217;ve changed my contact info&#8212; my new email address is thegwendolynmercer@gmail.com. Very catchy, I know. ;) <br/>Feel free to add me on Google+ under that email.</p> <p>Send me a note!

Unfortunately my dogs got to his sibling before I could, and Frankie was the only one we could rescue in time. He weighed two ounces, now he’s about four, and it’s time for him to get off milk entirely. He’s eating greens and likes grass and hosta leaves. I’ve been reading up all day about what the next step should be. I don’t know if I need to release him yet or if I should keep taking care of him until he gets a bit chunkier. It’s over 100 degrees outside, and I think I should plan on keeping him a bit longer until he’s a bit stronger. What a sweetie!</p>http://blog.gwendolynmercer.com/post/7857139870http://blog.gwendolynmercer.com/post/7857139870Wed, 20 Jul 2011 17:12:00 -0400animalbabybunnyinfantnursingrabbitsweetweeningwildrescue<p>Hi!
