Last Minute Preparations

Hard at work in the KRCC Newsroom in preparation for our departure to Lamar tomorrow evening! This morning we met with Bryan Oller, a photojournalist who has worked with the Associated Press, Reuters, the Colorado Springs Gazette, and now our very own Colorado College. He gave us some great tips on high quality iPhone camera apps and how we can best pair images with the audio we collect.

We're pretty excited, because we just confirmed our meeting with Paul Jenkins in Raton and he told us that he has also invited representatives from community businesses that depend on the Southwest Chief: the NRA Whittington Center and the Philmont Scout Ranch. Aside from scheduling our meetings, we're also working out travel logistics and coming up with fun things to do during our 6-hour layover in Northern New Mexico--It's the first time either of us has spent time in the area!
