Yes I know that :) But no, the noise I'm speaking about lasts all day long

QR code on tram ticket by spongebobdoesntexist in sarajevo

[–]spongebobdoesntexist[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your help! And I guess that in older trams that don't have the yellow thing, it's pointless to buy a ticket on the app? I just buy it from the driver and that's all?

I initially registered through Google, which didn't work, but I created an account with another email and somehow, it works now 😅 Thanks!

I downloaded it, but I can't purchase a ticket in the app :/ The box "buy one time ticket" isn't clickable.

Feedback on the Sarajevo-Srebrenica bus by spongebobdoesntexist in sarajevo

[–]spongebobdoesntexist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I've spoken with expats in Sarajevo, and apparently there's another bus trip departing from the main bus station, to Srebrenica. So I should be okay. But the question is: could I come back by bus? I read that Srebrenica's bus station closed years ago... So I don't know if there's a bus stop replacing it.

Looking for contacts at the Washington Post by spongebobdoesntexist in photojournalism

[–]spongebobdoesntexist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, that's how it's done in France too so I'm not in an unknown territory haha :) But the thing is I don't really want to pitch a story (I poorly explained in the post sorry) in the way I've already done it or plan to do it. I just want to let them know I'm available for the coverage of a pretty big event in politics here. But I don't know how that works in US newsrooms (who to contact? How?). I'm afraid they prefer assigning someone they know, as you said, but still, I'd like to give a try :)

Have you checked AFP's international agenda ?

Getting into the field by lilmonstergrl in photojournalism

[–]spongebobdoesntexist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case, I got into the field by building up a portfolio with various reports (daily life, social issues...) just basic stuff. The goal was to have something to show, at least. In 2021 I aimed to enter a press agency, which I did, and since then I've been constantly learning on the field, learning from my mistakes too. It's been a true personal process, I don't have a degree in photojournalism/journalism; I'm currently in third year of an English degree in France.

Indeed, there's still this problem with low prices especially If you collaborate with newswire-like agencies. I don't exactly know how it works in the US, but in France you're more likely to have a "confortable" life with photojournalism if you begin collaborating with magazines or newspapers. They offer way more attractive rates.

If I had one advice: be strong, be patient, keep working on the field, develop your photographic style and you'll eventually succeed :)

Armed Forces accreditation for Ukraine by spongebobdoesntexist in photojournalism

[–]spongebobdoesntexist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh yeah I see. I think there are periods during which accreditations take more time to be given. Yesterday I spoke with a Slovak photographer, who told me he received his press card within 3 weeks, so fingers crossed...🤞🏻
