I am a senior at NC State University majoring in Business Administration and International Studies. My passions are international development, awareness and leadership development. I started an internship at a small fair-trade boutique in Raleigh, NC and am going to blog about my experience.

the world is small: chronicling the interns at Beleza, a fair trade store in Raleigh, NC
Hi Alex,
I am a photographer who has been working with Fair Trade organizations for 15 years. I attended the Fair Trade Futures Conference in Boston recently and decided to start a blog to help with the Fair Traders out there who desperately need help improving their images. I feel there is tremendous opportunity to help and at the same time grow myself. Check out what I have started here: http://www.mycalicoeyes.wordpress.com. I wonder if there’s a way we can help each other? While I am quite experienced shooting I am just feeling my way along with the new social media thing.
I look forward to your feedback.

Fantastic! Your blog is awesome. I’ll forward your comment to the director and maybe we can get something rolling here. Thanks for reaching out.
Great! I’ll wait to hear back. I am a bit intimidated by the social media technology though and don’t want to come off as a relic… but figure if I mastered digital photography in the mid 90’s after 15 years of shooting on film, I can figure this out too, with a little help….
I really like the look of your blog. Feel free to move this conversation to regular email if you’d prefer or if you’d rather text me I’ll email you my number.

Hi Alex,
The site is looking good and you are all doing a great job. Don’t forget that the better your photos look the better the products will sell. I can’t tell you how often people tell me that they sell out of the items that are featured in ads or on POS posters in the store. Still willing to talk about helping you out.
Keep up the great work!
best regards,
chris
