One of the facts of faculty life is that you do a lot of travel. On the good side, you wind up visiting a lot of places of professional interest, such as cutting-edge laboratories and NASA centers. I've made it a habit to carry a camera (or two!) everywhere I go, and to take pictures wherever it's allowed. This has gotten even more useful with the arrival of sufficiently-detailed digital cameras, which make it easy to digitally archive the sights of a trip, or an event held on-campus. (Indeed, in recent years a number of trips in this archive are ones that I didn't take, but others in the SSL did.) In some places, I've supplemented the pictures with relevant pictures from the Internet or other sources.
