I hadn't taken pictures for a while so I decided to warm up the camera by recording the single year structures
and then the decades
and back to the single years
before I shot the old structure and unused painting
and then the S and D structures with too might light behind them.
Of course, all of this was a prelude to lunch with
Charles Cameron (Politics and Woodrow Wilson),
Jeff Nunokawa (English)
Jeane Schwartzbauer (Molecular Biology),
Sabine Kastner (Psychology),
Lin Fernrad (Dean of Faculty),
Frank Calaprice (Physics),
Daniel Truman (Music)
Next it was Friday the 13th and I went through the fog
to PJ's Pancake House
to meet Benji Jasik '97 for breakfast.
This was the day to take the new picture of my staff but first I had to record the height of 1975 to show that there might be problem soon
and then we all began to move into place
after which we posed on the steps with
June Eige, Lin Ferrand, Lorraine Post, Toni Turano, Elizabeth Smolinski and Melinda Matlack in front and Nita Cherry, Kris Miller, Sandra Gillette, Cathi Allison, Sandy Johnson and me behind
and then we posed with Kris Miller, June Eige, Sandra Gillette, Toni Turano, Lin Ferrand, Nita Cherry, Lorraine Post, and Elizabeth Smolinski in front and me, Cathi Allison, Mlinda Matlack and Sandy Johnson behind.
One day on the way into work, Robert Butcher, the crossing guard needed his picture taken
And then the trustees came and I met Emmet Gowin and Toni Morrison which was good because it's always great to take a photo of the photographer.
On Sunday, I got up long before dawn and waited at an early hour
for the trip to Florida where people assembled on the porch
so that Doug Brady, Van Zandt Williams, Ken Jensen and John Diekman could explain why we were there
and then Mary Baum and Van
and Brian McDonald and Van could hold forth.
A few days later, Lorraine Fuhrmann of the Religion department came to visit
after which I hosted lunch for Adam Meirowitz (Politics), Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe (Civil and Environmental Engineering), Lars Hedin (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology), Michael Laffan (History) and Andre Benhaim (French and Italian)
I ended the work month of January in a discussion with Vance Smith of the English Department.
