work

Ive finally settled into the first week of work. So what does this work consist of you might wonder? (well, I wondered at least) To the finest description of my knowledge, I am mainly organizing the imaging system, giving a slideshow presentation to cruise ship vessels, transferring research/information from tapes to dvds, and photography. Organizing the imaging system can be summed up to adding the photographers' names, key words, commentary, etc. to each image in the library which has over 110,000 photos. I'll also be scanning slides and doctoring them up with photoshop. I still can't believe I get to stay here the entire summer. I went kayaking/camping with a couple of fellow interpreters in the backcountry last friday. We woke up to a beautiful view of the Fairweather Range and a nice pile of bear scat right by our campsite. I had a full day of sunshine on my birthday which was phenomenal for exploring the Beardslee Islands; I even got sunburnt. I've already seen a variety of wildlife: moose, black bear, porcupine, unknown porpoise, harbour seals, loons, unknown ducks, sea urchines, clams, mussels, star fish, and an unknown spider in my living room. The people here are incredible. It seems like everyone has a good case of traveling/science in their blood so the stories are neverending. This week will be full of transferring tapes to dvds and program prep which means I get to fill my brain with a deadly amount of information. I'm enjoying this a lot. Enough said.
