Being part-time freelance translator, part-time grad student, I work mostly in the university library, because this is where all the books are. This photo is not mine. It was taken by a very good friend of mine during the Winter exam session a few years ago.

The 2nd photo is actually from the Washington DC bureau, and the 3rd is from our trailer at Kennedy Space Center around the time of a shuttle launch.

As for my desk itself... just imagine "standard half-height cube, navy blue" and you've basically got it.

Sometimes where I work is in places like this and other times in places like this. My home office desk is even messier, but I'm too ashamed to show it!

Scarabic, that's a really cool shot. Maybe it just matches my mood, but I like it.

BP, the color is to die for on your first photo. Is that digital?

So many cool places!

box, that's a HUGE (and cool-looking!) library.

eekacat, I've always loved your night shots of that place- so cinematic. (And yes, my pic is digital.)
