Travels 2010
I was honored this week to find out that two of my photos were used for this seasons Mid Winter Greeting. This greeting is sent out to all of the other Stations in Antarctica. The top photos is a panoramic of the town taken in April. The lower is the Town photo of our winter [...]
We are just weeks away from several plane loads of new faces, mail, and FRESHIES! Yesterday I turned in my request to leave first flight Main Body. That means Sept 23. A few days in Christchurch NZ then off to Picton NZ for 6 days of Scuba lessons and certs at GoDive. Very much looking [...]
[web_bar-1] More department and group photos for the yearbook These folks are our bar tenders… Time to start thinking about the eminent release from the darkness. In just 10 weeks we will be invaded by upwards of 500 people. If that were not bad enough they will be happy, tan, cheerfuller, full of energy, and [...]
Someone got the crazy idea that we needed a Year Book for this season. I have been taking department photos for weeks now. Should be done soon. It has been a learning experience. I have also been able to put CS5 to use. Very nice upgrade…
After years of randomly searching for a website that I can offer photos and prints I finally decided on Zenfolio. I have a few pics up there which you can order prints, mugs, t-shirts, key-chains, and piles of other useless junk. The prints however can be wallet to poster size. View Photos Here
Is it dark there? I found this cool little webpage that lets you select a location and date to find out Day/Night times. I am at -77S.
As can happen from time to time, a few things came up during the day. On arriving to work I got an email from Weather stating that today would be a good day for the Town Photo. I immediately started planning out the communication and coordination with everyone to get 200 people at the same [...]
First… Click on the pictures, they are larger than they appear. Also there is more in the picture than what is showing. This morning I woke up and decided to take a few pictures of my day. I was pretty board, I have not put anything on my blog page for a long time and [...]
I am personally going for the Production Suite.
Today I am starting a new project. A Day in Antarctica. I am photographing the major things that I do in a day and will be posting it soon. It may be one big post or several small ones posted in revers order (so they show up in order). Coming soon! Today we are also [...]
Thanks to Karen Robinette for this great photo of me staring courageously into the distance. Actually, I am just tired and trying to get away from all the noise of the group. But that kinda take away from the hero aspect. Well here i am. Sunday at Pegasus, a trip out to see the plane [...]

One of the funnest perks of being down here is interacting with schools. I have had only a few opportunities to do so. I was contact a few days ago by Sterling Montessori Academy in Morisville NC: I am the Chairman of the Walk A Thon committee at Sterling Montessori and am very excited to [...]
We are quickly settling in for the winter and it looks like is going to be a good one. Lots of good people, 70% returning from last season. Fortunately the more trouble some folks from last year are among the 30%. Along those same lines are some really good folks also not back this year [...]

I finished my psych last week and got the official “OK” yesterday that I am all set. Now am just waiting on my on-ice date from my boss, hoping for sooner rather than later. I am ready to go. All my stuff sorted into four piles to ship to Wyoming for storage, Antarctica for later [...]
A few folks are pretty disappointed that we are delayed. But I am just taking it easy, resting, and trying to go slow. We had a dry run today. Had my bag packed, bed linens bagged and put away, ECW on and room cleared out. Had all my stuff with me at lunch ready for [...]
Enjoying my last few days in Antarctica. We had one delay so far, I have heard that it was due to weather which is believe able. I have also heard that it was due to mechanical failure which is also believable. The flight did not delay until later in the morning. I am ready to [...]
I am in my final week and I am feeling it. Excited about being here and the job I do, the unique environment, and just the cool place I get to work. However, its time for a break. This week will be kind of weird. The normal day to day is happening but I am [...]
In under two weeks I will be leaving McMurdo Station for this season. I have mixed emotions about it. While I do not want to be here during the summer and the increased population of over 1000, I have begun to think of this place as home. I spend most of my time here, about [...]
