2007。實驗室。大合照

大家一起來拍照囉！
Having a Picture Together?!

應該是十月下旬的事了～
所辦公室說我們實驗室的檔案照片太古老了，今年多了許多新臉孔，應該要交一張新照片做檔案更新之用。合照事小，不過說到要把大家集合起來，嗯～這個事情就真的有難度了！

It was around the end of October. The office informed our laboratory to give a lab photo to replace the previous one, which has been used for several years. Well, it sounds easy; however, it's a little bit difficult to get all labmates together.



正值學期當中，學生們要上課，而且每個學生的課表各不相同，不上課的人，實驗安排少說也是一週兩週以上的計畫，加上老師一共十七人的陣容，說大不大，但要把大家同時找來，為了實驗室大合照，還真是個詭異的理由。

During semester, junior graduate students have many classes to take. Besides, each of them came from different campus and/or institute, thus different schedule of classes for each individuals. For senior PhD students and research fellows, we don't have classes but we arrange time table for experiments in advance. It sounds mission impossible to gather everybody and take a photo.



不過，明怡果然能幹，不出半天，就搞定所有人的時間了！ 十月最後一個週四，上午十點半，好個吉日良辰，全員集合拍照啦！

How lucky we are to have Ming-Yi as an assistant in lab. She fixed the schedule immediately for everybody! The day to have a lab photo is the last Thursday of October, at 10:30am!



這又是另一件弔詭的事～ 我以為所上有指派的攝影師幫大家拍大合照，明怡笑了半天，說「學姊，你想太多了！」 結論是我們得自己來。

That's weird! I though we'd have a photographer assigned by office to take this photo~ Ming-Yi laughed and told me that we have to take this photo by ourselves!!



嘿嘿～沒有在怕的啦！不過就拍照嘛～還好我的小小 T11 向來都是隨身攜帶的配件，剛好前幾天帶了三腳架來實驗室，沒問題，給它拍了！

Heehee...It's no big deal, I have my little T11 as a part of me everyday! By the way, I had my tripod in lab last week for other purpose! Let's go! Have a picture by ourselves!



天空雖然不怎麼漂亮，但天光還不賴！所以在會議室拍好合照，當下就把人往外帶了。活動中心前的草地上，朱銘大師的太極「推手」成了我們的佈景～

We had the first lab photo in conference room. The sky though looked not blue, yet the skylight was good to take a photo outside. With T11 on hand, I walked ahead and led all labmates to the grassland in front of the activity center. "Tai-Chi", Ju-Ming's masterpiece, was the best scene for us! What a pretty picture we had!



才過一個多月，重看這些照片，該怎麼說呢？物換星移嗎？照片當中的臉孔已經跟現在不同了。實驗室原本就是個學生、研究人員來來去去的地方，明年十月的時候，不知道會有多少人離開或加入，看來每年都得重拍啦！

Just a month passed, one of the faces in photos has left lab. Is it the old Chinese idiom said "Stars move and things changed"? This is a quite common phenomenon in lab, people come and leave. I started to think about...shall we set taking lab photos on regular schedule every year!!
