Nice shots, Mike! I gotta say, I do love my job (most of the time)! Even though archeology is obviously my primary duty, we work very closely with our biologists, so I get a lot of opportunities to participate in their projects. Typically when we do surveys for projects, we do them together, alternating biologist/archeologist on our transects.
I always think of Roy Chapman Andrews' Central Asiatic Expeditions, as a model for success in my professional life. They set out to find evidence of human evolution, based on the work of Andrews' mentor and friend, Henry Fairfield Osborn, who referred to Asia as the "Mother of Continents." Andrews never did find the evidence of human evolution on those expeditions, but just look at what he did find! Just goes to show that cross-disciplinary cooperation is the key to real discovery!
I've been scanning in a few of the photos from Dragon Hunter, which I haven't been able to find elsewhere. I'll upload them as I edit them to remove the moire pattern, because there are a few pretty cool images of Andrews, the consummate Golden Age explorer.
