Hello there (in Obi-Wan’s voice),
I hope you all are thriving and surviving through this semester. I know I’m not. In my second week of classes, I missed 2 of my classes and….. you know what, I shouldn’t shame myself with the logistics. Let’s talk about Nosferatu instead!!
I watched that movie yesterday, and I have some advice for you: if you're planning to watch it, go with someone. Also, be sure to learn about the history of Nosferatu beforehand; it significantly changed my perspective on the film after I researched its background. I won't spoil it for you, though—check it out for yourself!
Anywho, time for pitches!

1. Check out these guides to the Ubyssey photo section and what makes a good photo.
2. To claim a pitch, reply to this email and wait for confirmation from me that it's still available.
3. If you need to borrow a camera, let me know when you sign up for a pitch.
4. Take as many photos as you think fit the assignment, then select the best 5–10. Feel free to use editing software as needed (and let me know if you need Lightroom access).
5. Send photos in JPG format and make sure each file is between 1–3MB.
6. Name the photos as follows: YYYYMMDD_first initial_last name_pitch_file number (e.g., 20210908 i falsetti sky train 1)
7. For coverage of people and events, please provide a brief caption to go alongside each photo.
8. Email photos in a folder to [email protected]. If sharing via Google Drive, please make sure I have access!
Photo pitches
Please send in all photos by 12 p.m. on the deadline (unless the event you are covering is happening that day). If you need to borrow a camera, let me know when you sign up for a pitch.
Sports
These games require coverage at specific times and locations. The angle of the photo should be more in action pictures instead of still pictures.
Attend the UBC Adaptive Sports event at the UBC Tennis Centre on Thursday from 7-9 p.m. The tone of the photos should focus more on wheelchair tennis and why inclusion in sport is important.
Deadline: Jan 27th
Stay hydrated and warm,
Saumya
