Quintis Fanfic after Postcards from the Edge

Toby followed Happy and Ralph out of the hospital, he was exhausted but what he felt was nothing compared to what 197 would be feeling over the coming days. Toby was relieved Walt was ok but knew the team were clueless on how close they really came to losing him, Toby knew Walt was minutes away from bleeding to death when Cabe rescued him.

Suddenly someone punched his arm 'hey numbnuts, back in the room. Ralph has asked you a question 3 times' Happy said to Toby.

'Sorry little man, spaced out there a minute, what was your question'

Ralph looked up at Toby, Rory etched on his little face 'will Walt be ok? Will he be home tomorrow'

Toby crouched down so he was eye level with Ralph 'listen buddy Walt is strong gonna take a lot more then his car going off a cliff to kill him off. Walter is going to be fine Ralph but these injuries may take a while to heal and gd may need physio'

Ralph looked on the verge of tears ' so he is going yo be in hospital a long time, I'm not going to see him for weeks or even month's'

'Great one Doc, make the kid cry' Toby heard Happy say in a hushed voice.

'Look Ralph Walter may not be home for a little while but that doesn't mean you can't see him, I'm sure your mum will take you to see him, he will need someone with your brain power to ensure his genius brain stays working'

'So........ he needs me to come up with some genius tests for him to do, problems to solve to keep his IQ at 197? Why didn't you say so! We need to get home right away so I can start developing these tests' Ralph started to pull Toby up and dragging him towards Happy's truck.

Happy followed behind and unlocked the car 'come on Ralph in you get, food first then home and you can eat and start working on the tests'

'Great in you get Doc, let's get burgers then we can go home' Ralph said as Toby and Happy got in the truck.

Happy looked over at Toby, he looked drained she can't imagine the mental toll it must take on someone to care for a friend medically and even worse doing it from a distance. She always respected Tobys abilities but today she saw him in a different light. 'Hey Doc u ok?

Toby was resting his head back with his eyes closed 'fine bit tired, nothing a double cheeseburger, large fries and a milkshake wont sort'

Happy smiled 'this i can sort' Happy drove to the nearest drive thru, drove up to the window and ordered enough food for the 3 of them including what Toby had asked for, he was softly snoring next to her so she didn't wake him and Ralph had that look about him they all got when they were deep in thought and problem solving.

Happy drove them back to her place, Toby had never been here but it was better then going to his place. She wasn't sure she was ready to see that side of him.

Once they arrived she pulled up in front of her apartment and gently nudged Toby 'hey doc, wake up, we're here' Toby slowly opened his eyes and looked around 'where are we, this isn't Paige's place' Happy looked up at him ' nope this is my place, don't have a key for Paige's place and you were asleep so this was the better option, come on Ralph food, then an hour of researching for the tests then bed, you can sleep in my bed'

Toby followed Happy and Ralph up the stairs a part of him was excited he was going to see Happy's inner sanctuary, if he wasn't so tired he would be able to gauge a lot of information from what lay behind the door Happy was currently unlocking. 'Watch the tools on the floor Ralph' Happy said interrupting Tobys thoughts.

When Toby walked through the door he stopped and took it all in, tools and machinery everywhere, it was messy but not dirty, clothes were hung up all over the place but not robbeled dirtily on the floor, the kitchen had dishes all over the surface but they were clean. He noticed there were no photos, nothing personal or sentimental.

Happy and Ralph were stood eating in the kitchen 'come on Doc foods getting cold' Happy said handing him his bag of food, he tucked in devouring it all in the time it took Happy to finish her burger.

Once they were all finished Happy took Ralph into her room with a laptop, 'here you go sit or get into bed with the laptop do what you need to do, and i'll be back in an hour for lights out, we are just outside if you need us'

'Thanks Happy im glad its you im with tonight'

Happy smiled and left him to it, she would check the laptop later make sure he hadn't been on the dark web again.

Happy went and sat by Toby ' Ralph boy ok' Toby said 'yep all set on the laptop, are you going to fill me in on why your so quiet?' Happy said sitting slightly faced towards him.

Toby sighed 'we were lucky today it could been so much worse' Toby was starring at the opposite wall 'having Walter life in my hands but not physically in my hands, ifs hard. Its like if you had to talk someone through repairing a motorbike engine but the engine was your best mate'

Happy looked closely at Tobys face she could see the effects of the day he looked lost and worn out 'I get it Doc, I can't imagine how hard it must be to know what you know to save lives and then have to do it on your best mate but not bring able to physically do it makes it even worse' Happy thought for a moment 'your a shrink what advice would you say to me if I was in your shoes?'

Toby slowly turned and looked at Happy smirking efrr so slightly 'turning the tables on me nice one Quinn' he paused 'I would tell you that you need to separate the medical from the personal, you saved a life it was hard but Walt is alive and functioning because he had a doctor near him whilst waiting for the paramedics talking him through how to stay conscious and alive'

'There you go Doc couldnt of said it better you did the best if not better then any other doctor on site could of done, and the personal?'

'I would tell you that you need to be there for your friend to help him recover and support him however he needs'

'There you go advice for us both you need to be there as a friend not an obnoxious Doctor and I actually need to be present and not hide'

Toby laughed and felt the stress of the day slowly drain away, he looked at Happy and smiled 'you know this is the first proper conversation we have had in months'

Happy scowled 'you know why that is jackass don't bring it up again or ill get pissed at you all over again'. Toby raised his hands in surrender 'im just saying I miss my friend, I'm sorry I cooked up our date but I would love to go back to bring friends again'

Happy was silent 'thank you for your apology I accept it and we can move on as friends' Toby moved in for a hug 'don't push it' Happy said holding her hands up.

Toby just looked at her 'just as friends its been a horrific day and we could both use a hug'

'Just this once and no funny business' Toby didn't waste any time and pulled her in, Happy was stiff at first but as she leant her head on his chest and felt his heartbeat and smelt the faint smell of his body wash she relaxed and realised how much comfort she felt in his arms and how much she had missed him. Toby moved himself backwards slowly and Happy moved along with him and it wasn't long before Toby heard Happy's breathing become more shallow and she started to purr softly, she was asleep in his arms. He felt relaxed and content for the first time in months. He pulled the blanket of the edge of thd sofa and covered them both up. He could see Ralph through the crack in the door and could see he was asleep so Toby let himself fall into a peaceful sleep.

Portfolio

A portfolio can be many things, whether they’re handheld or digital. digital portfolios can be saved on a memory stick and this will make it easily portable and viewable for the employers, colleges and universities. These are the most important things a portfolio will be used for. A good website to make a portfolio is called Behance this is a portfolio creating website where you are able to create your own portfolio, and review others.

Reviewing others

Behance is very easy to use. the search features do everything for you. When you set up your account, you get to set up your preferences in the creations process. This will mean, if you select photography, you will see more photography portfolios then anything else.

Additionally, if there is nothing on the home screen you are looking for, you can further filter searches, which lets you be precise and pristine with what you’re looking for.

This will allow you to find a client more suited to your personal preferences. This means you’re more likely to find someone you want to hire, or meet up with too see if they’re suited to the images that you want/need to be shot.

Example

As an example of the screenshots. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you will obviously need to search wedding in the search bar, you will then need to filter with photography, and because it is an important thing to have great wedding photos, you will need to filter by most appreciated. This will allow you to find the best photographer possible for what you want. You should then filter for your home county, like England, and then your city, or other close by ones. Or the city of the wedding. For example, if the wedding is in Yorkshire, you wont filter for an American photographer. Once you have found a wedding photographer you like, you can easily contact the creator of the portfolio with the behance messaging system which is very easy to use. You will need to open someones profile ones you have found someone you would like to contact. 

All you will need to do is drop the person a message and wait for them to reply. as a safe bet make sure you message more then one person.

Creating a portfolio

To create a portfolio there are just 3 simple settings.

under content is where you input all of the writing information and images.

files is where you input all of your images/files you want to include. text is all of the writing you want, so you can explain camera settings, the rest isn't too important.

once you have images on you can go to the next setting which is choosing the portfolio cover, this will need to be the best photo.

once you are ready to publish, you can add information more likely to be found by others, so just simply fill it in like:

then it is ready to publish.

once published you will be able to promote with these websites.

Evaluation

behance is a creative creation website used by people who would like to create

a digital online portfolio, this can be used to apply for college, university or jobs. the portfolios can consist of anything, you can either make a portfolio based on photography, or animal care, just 2 examples to show how diverse this can be. behance is used by the creative community because you can easily upload images on to the images created, whether they’re drawn, photoshopped or jusr shot from the camera, from which you can create information on the image, from who inspired you to create it, to why you wanted to create it, to the meaning of the images.

Advantages of behance

easy to get your name out there

easy to create an online portfolio

easy to upload images

other people can recommend others

makes it easier to be employed in the area the portfolio is written about

Disadvantages of behance

Not really a big platform

Adobe does not advertise it like they do with photoshop

its hard to get your name out there

In this academic year i have done a lot to advance my creative portfolio by learning new skills. this has ranged from being able to contact a client and have a discussion with the person, to learning how to do the entire film developing process, and how to look deeper into meanings of a photograph, also creating a meaning of one too.

other platforms i used to showcase was instagram, which i had some positive feedback from 3-4 friends. i havent uploaded to the account for a while though, simply because i can not remember it.

as i have not had a job interview, or a university interview as i am not going to university yet, and i am currently unemployed, the next part will be about interviews i have had for college.

to apply for a college placement i had to go online and look at all of the available colleges which offered photography, then i had to read the requirements to make this which i followed to get my placement, which involved specific grades and creating a handheld portfolio to show the interviewer, of images i had made which was either right from the camera or that had been photoshopped.

i had chosen the images in my portfolio because they all fitted around a fast shutterspeed. i shot at times of 1/1000 to catch the image in movements with no motion blur. this was because i had seen a famous body of work called The decisive moment by Henri Cartier-bresson. the photoshop i some images was just experimenting with some tools. i prepared for my interviews by taking things through with close friends and family who had had interviews. they gave me mock interviews which helped. they was asking questions that they thought would have been in the interview. this helped because i knew exact;y what to prepare for and i had some ideas on what to answer, i even wrote down some questions and answers to help them stay in my head even more.

i was successful in my application to college, which is currently where i am studying because i have been there for 2 years. in this time i have learned a lot more with in photography, learned a lot more photographers, and techniques, which i never would have learned myself away from college.

Client

for my client project, i had shot images for an independent business, called munch in Hucknall, nottinghamshire. i got the gig through a discussion on facebook, where Matt (the owner) stated he already had images shot for him, but would let me in store to get images i needed, then stated, any images i took for him i can send in case any was wanted to be used by him. non of my images have been used yet. but i spoke to him in store and he told me that they might be used one day because he really liked them.

the images i took can be found here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/79403629/Food-(Munch-Hucknall) and my final idea was developed what matt wanted. what he wanted was images that positively showed munch as a business. i then developed this to make the images bright to make the food look really fresh, and able to use on a social media page like facebook or instagram. this whole process has helped me develop professionally because i now know how to approach a client and speak, i was once uncomfortable with this. i then was able to photograph with someone i do not know personally, speak comfortably and be able to work off a set brief handed to me by a specific person.

some challenges i faces with the client was taking photos of customers food. i was in the back where food was being prepared. i couldnt take too long in getting photos, instead of having chances to take 10 photos of one sandwich, i had about 15 seconds before the food was taken to a customer (a little longer if it was an order) another problem i had was scaling the images to fit the frame well, and making sure the image was straight. this was tough because im not used to re-touching a product on photoshop. i have learned to shoot what someone else wants and not what i want. these experiences have helped develop my portfolio because it shows people i am able to work for a client. this shows my communication skills within the commercial world. this means people are more likely to contact me for jobs, or i am more likely to be accepted while looking for a client. which is really helpful for my photography work.
