It is currently 12:40 am on May 11th 2010. Just a few months ago I was putting together the proposal for my Galapagos project just hoping that it would be worthy of an amazing summer. The idea was simple yet ambitious, to document through my photographs the effects of invasive species on the Galapagos archipelago. At the time, I was enrolled in an Art and Ecology class taught by the amazing Linda Hall whose class was the inspiration for the project. As soon as I came up with the concept for my project I asked Linda to help me with my proposal and got it in just in time. By some miracle the wonderful faculty at Florida State's Undergraduate Research Office gave me the Mentored Research and Creative Endeavors Award (MRCE) and now here I am unable to sleep with anticipation.
A few days ago I created this blog to keep my family, friends, and mentors updated on my projects developments. I purchased a camcorder to include footage of my adventures and possibly even interviews of locals. I will be living with the Cedeña family for three weeks and hopefully learning a lot about how the islands locals interact with the islands ecology.
Well, I'm exhausted and really should go to sleep but I'll try and think up more things in the morning to update with before I leave.
