Chillin' in the Slide Library.

I had the most fun ever working today. V. needed to shoot some images from a pile of tricky books, so we trucked up to the photo lab and began the process of getting the shots just right.
Getting the shots just right involved V. standing at the head of a ladder while I crouched under it, with my neck along the edge of the metal strut like an aristocrat in the guillotine, holding the pages down under a plank of glass. We added to the mayhem by taking frequent beverage breaks. (And beverage breaks can add plenty of mayhem, provided they involve the right kind of beverages... just sayin'.) We got some wonderful captures of images from Rinnoji and Nikko Toshogu, among others. We also got a great photo of me in the guillotine (ladder). We're going to sneak it onto the disc I give to my adviser; see if she has any comment. Heh.
I'm really going to miss working with V.
