Aaron Adams: in Los Angeles, CA

Worked as a bartender in the East Village and Manhattan to make ends meet during graduate school and the pandemic.

Assisted with 3D scans and photo scans using Artec and Faro scanners and their proprietary software. I provided client consultations on DIY photo scan projects using DSLR cameras and Agisoft software. Responsible for running front desk operations, scheduling and inputting client information and project files and details.

As the head Wide Format Archival Printing Specialist, I was responsible for client services, printer maintenance, file handling, and the production and care for images up to 64 inches on the short edge. I was responsible for advising customers on non-destructive image editing techniques with attention to minimizing file size in the process.

Assisted with daily photographic tasks including scanning negatives, file editing in Photoshop, digital file organization on Lightroom, analog print organization, and transcriptions of interviews. I helped with Rosalind's schedule and helped her prepare for speeches at universities. I helped with the preliminary work of her book, Liberty Theater. I also focused on working with her 1987 images, monograph, and interviews with AIDS patients. I transcribed these into a 75-page manuscript that was sent to the Smithsonian.
