Andrew had told me on Monday that he would be in meetings from about 10am till about noon, so I should just come in anytime I wanted before noon. So, ladies and gentlemen, what time does that mean Sarah Young will show up? 11:30! Still earlier than noon, but no earlier than need-be. I was able to enjoy a nice leisurely breakfast that I made with boiled eggs, toast, and a really yummy chai latte and even surf the web a bit before coming in. When I got in I went back to photographing specimen and waiting for Andrew to return from all the meetings. Soon after he arrived he decided to go buy a tripod he'd been meaning to get for all the pictures I'd been taking so he dashed away to do that leaving me to basically just read in his office, which was fine by me! I got a lot farther in my book by the time he'd gotten back. Once he did we set up the tripod, the extra flashes for the camera, and the display apparatus and I was off, once again taking specimen photos. All I gotta say, is THANK GOODNESS for that tripod. The photos had been taking me painstakingly long because they have to be perfectly in focus on a very specific part of the wing and when you're holding the camera, adjusting the focus, and trying not to shake or move it can be slightly difficult. So, the tripod assisted in much faster photography and a much happier Sarah. In the second half of the afternoon I had been able to photograph the same number of specimens that I photographed on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday combined! Tuesday night ended up almost identical to Monday night. Grabbed some milk on the way home, crashed, and surfed the web in the evening. I even watched a movie or two before succumbing to sleep for the evening.
