Got hired on TaskRabbit for my first slideshow-making gig. The guy who hired me was a friendly and busy guy, switching constantly between Bluetooth and one-on-one conversation when we first met.

When I arrived in his Upper West Side apartment building, we went up to his penthouse suite. Check out the view from there!

I started the work at his Mac where he showed me a few hundred family photos he wanted me to organize into a slideshow. And in case you’re wondering, iPhoto and iMovie make that kind of thing look amazing. Not that it doesn’t require a lot of work.

After narrowing down those pics to play well in a ten-minute slideshow, I added some titles and music of his choice, and BOOM- we created a professional video slideshow for his daughter’s Bat Mitzvah.
