Photo Blog #42: Work

f Aperture: 1.8, Shutter Speed: 1/60, ISO 179

For this photo blog assignment, we were supposed to take a photo inspired by our work. I didn’t really feel comfortable taking a photo of my workplace, or customers, or any of my coworkers as a whole, so I thought it would maybe be a good idea to take a photo of one of the tasks that I would have to do while at work. The one I eventually decided on was the sorting of sensors – the sensors are placed on clothes so that an alarm goes off when a shoplifter tries to leave the store with them – and as cashiers, it’s our job to take them off of the clothes when they’re purchased. Later, it’s our job to sort the different parts of the sensors. While it can be a little nerve-wracking, due to the fact that there are a lot of needles, it can also be a bit soothing – it gives you something to do, while also acting as a break from having to interact with customers.
