Chris, who is interning this summer for Backpacker magazine in Boulder, reports he's having a blast and learning a lot. "I was hired on as the photo intern but I have been involved with some design work, and I have pitched a few video ideas for the web site," he writes. "I'm really hoping to get to work more with the web site and test out my filming and editing skills."So far, he's been editing images of some of his favorite photographers "so that has been pretty cool." He describes his co-workers as "super laid back" but very involved with the subject matter. "They all bike to work and take weekend trips camping, climbing, biking, floating, etc."
It's encouraged. In fact, he says, the coolest part of the internship so far is the opportunity to test gear for the magazine's reveiws. Chris has done some of that and is hoping to do more.
Otherwise, he says he's been trying to "lay on the charm" and network to "maybe, hopefully, someday, possibly" work fulltime in outdoor journalism.

This sounds like an awesome internship. I'd love to hear more about it when you get back, because it definitely sounds like something I want to do next summer!
Way to go Christopher! Make us proud but come back to Missoula soon b/c we miss you dearly.
