Poly Students

We have been working hard this last week scanning 35mm film and getting a workflow in place. Our main objective is to train the Poly students so that they can take over once we leave and continue scanning, cataloging, and backing up these photos. They are eager to learn and catch on quickly. I thought it would be fun to include some pictures of the students we are working with and who are becoming fast friends.

Here is a picture of the girls. From left to right: Andrea, Em'C, Me, Vimbai, and Katrina.

Here's pretty much the whole group. This was taken on campus at the Polytechnic. We were all enjoying the sun since it is cold here in the mornings.

Above is a picture of Goderich and Kwayo preparing film to be scanned. We have to wear cotton gloves when handling the film.

Ok, so I wanted to throw in a few more Safari pictures. Here is a momma and baby giraffe. They were so cute together.

Here is us in our Range Rover, Defender. I love these things. Too bad they don't make them in the U.S. :) Oh...the guy in the front is not a part of our group. He just wanted to have his picture taken with us and we couldn't convince him otherwise.

These are Elome. They are the biggest animals of their type here in Africa.

Above is a Kudo. They are everywhere. I guess that would be why they are a common source of meat here in Namibia. It's good meat too!

Here's another picture of the rhinos that we saw. I just couldn't get over how massive these animals were. I still think this picture, just doesn't do them justice, but it's a start.

This little cricket isn't so little. We saw him on the way to church. Kind of creepy looking, but harmless.
