Internship #13: Tuesday, January 26
For this blog entry, you will need to post three pictures with captions. Choose which prompt you'd like to follow:

Choice 1. Post three pictures that show a specific "perspective" of your internship—this could be taken to be a client or customer's perspective, a physically unique perspective (maybe the worm's eye shot is a metaphor for life as an intern! or a bird's eye shot is the view of the CEO?), or maybe you have a better idea for how to use perspective to shed new light on your internship.
