Grad student Alexia Beckerling spent part of her summer shooting photos for the Ravalli Republic, Hamilton's five-day daily and a launching pad for more than a few photojournalism careers. Her assignments have included a farm specializing in conservation practices, a class in West African dancing, and life as a foster parent. She's been on the paper's front page a few times, too."Doing an internship at a small paper gave me ample opportunity to publish a lot which was really gratifying," she writes. "I also got thrown in the deep-end a number of times and experienced having to get a good shot no matter what. I found this really stressful at times but think that my photography benefited from working under pressure. Spending time in the Bitterroot was an absolute pleasure. I was particularly intrigued by the diverse and oftentimes eccentric Hamilton population."
