Or take uncomfortable closeups of their faces. I was just working at my computer, and needed frequent breaks. Natalie and Jeff were at the highbay for the first time, filling out our full complement of 14 people. I took the opportunity to take spy-portraits of the whole team (of highly variable quality).<\/p>\n<p>Then in the evening, Barth, Jeff, Laura, and I climbed up Ob Hill for more telephoto fun. (I&#8217;m going to save those pictures for a rainy day, because I already have too many.) Then I went to the Scott Base skirt party, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll post pictures here (partly because I don&#8217;t have any). (And because my pink ensemble was too cute for this site.)<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
