Being an archaeologist is fun. Being an archaeological site photographer is cool. Look what I got to do one rainy Monday morning.


Check out the hi-visibility vest and my purple glove. The red and white thing is not a javelin. It's a ranging pole. Welcome to archaeological site photography.

While walking to the site, I loudly mentioned an "Asian Invasion" which made my lecturer turn around and give me a funny look. Lucky I was looking too completely Asian to be accused of racism. And I was set loose on the site with my group, holding my tiny, high-megapixel camera and snapping about a hundred shots per minute.
