Jobs in Long Island, NY for qualified High School students?

I’m fourteen years old, and I’m aware of the laws as to how much work I can do on the books ( http://www.labor.state.ny.us/workerprotection/laborstandards/workprot/wp14or15.shtm , if you were wondering), but I’m looking for work that, regardless of pay, will involve meeting and dealing with new people.
I’m a people person, with interests (and talents!) in theater, photography, and eclectic (vintage) fashion. I’ve applied at a local live theater opening this June, but so far, that doesn’t look great. I’m pretty sure that I could get a job at a few clothing boutiques in town, but I’m interested in seeing if there are any other options (hopefully in theaters?) that seem viable? I can type about 100 words per minute, am a straight-A’s honors high school student, and am good in word processors. I can do web and graphic design as well (though, I want to work with people!) Thanks a ton.

Take your skills and open up your own business. Yup, even at 14 you can work for yourself where you can’t work for an employer. When I say open a business, I mean legally… tax ID, business license, the works. You can get professional advice on the process from the Junior Achievements… check out the link below for a JA center near you:

Fashion Photography $56.52 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Fashion photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items.

Photography $33.02 Photography explores the photograph in the 21st century and its importance as a media form. Stephen Bull considers our media-saturated society and the place of photography in everyday life, introducing the theories used to analyse photographs and exploring the impact of digital technology.

Unseen Vogue: The Secret History of Fashion Photography $26.29 "Unseen Vogue" goes beyond the cliches and often repeated "greatest hits" of fashion photography and tells a completely new story. Drawn from the archives of British "Vogue," the book presents hundreds of images never seen before–the killed pictures, rejects, and outtakes–to form a fresh, new history of fashion photography. Features the first attempts of many now internationally famous photographers, great pictures by forgotten masters, outtakes from famous shoots, and many other extraordinary and sometimes controversial pictures. By showing contact sheets and unedited film "Unseen Vogue" opens up the process of making fashion images, previously the reserve of fashion’s inner circle.

Not in Fashion: Photography and Fashion in the 90s $43.73 Fashion photography is about much more than just depicting clothes. Far larger conceptions of glamour, culture, sex and consumption play out every month in two-page advertising spreads in "Vogue" and "W," and in the editorial shoots of "Purple" and "V." Brazenly occupying the fraught overlap between art and commerce, the most provocative fashion photography combines exquisite come-ons with subtle affronts, to convention, to propriety, to our pride. The 1990s constituted an exciting moment in fashion photography, as a generation of practitioners made work that was bluntly physical and brash, celebrating music, subculture and intimacy in the most creative fringes of twenty- and thirty-something life. "Not in Fashion" collects some of the strongest photographs, campaigns and picture series from magazines of the 1990s–much of which was done by photographers who maintained careers as fine artists while executing editorial and campaign work for some of the industry’s leading designers and publications. This volume includes seductive, challenging work by artists including Vanessa Beecroft, Walter van Beirendonck, Bernadette Corporation, Ayzit Bostan, BLESS, Mark Borthwick, Susan Cianciolo, Maria Cornejo, Corinne Day, Anders Edstrom, Jason Evans, Helmut Lang, Martin Margiela, M/M (Paris), Cris Moor, Kostas Murkudis, Collier Schorr, Nigel Shafran, Juergen Teller and Wolfgang Tillmans."
