Yes, employees can participate. If you work for the museum, the prize won't be much of a draw, since you have most of those things already - but I'd encourage everyone to participate, so we can get as many great shots for Wikipedia as possible. Thanks for your interest - hope to see you at the meetup!

I registered team "Paleopaparazzi" and will be there - who else is in?
Feel free to join the team, and let's shoot some history.
Erin, I could really get some great shots if i could get some of the minerals out of those security boxes? For instance, I'd love to reshoot this gold in quartz you have on display without all that security stuff blocking teh light. ;-)

James, so glad you can make it! I'm afraid I don't have clearance to get those Plexi covers removed for the event, especially since the general public will be around...but we do have a HUGE new geode in the gift shop area that isn't enclosed over the top, so there are a few angles that are Plexi-free.

Yes! That HUGE geode from Dino Mummy CSI is awesome. No matter how many times I enter though the employee's entrance it always amazes me!!!
James I would like to join your group, and I will be at the meeting. I get off at that time, see you there.

Erin - I also certainly enjoyed it a lot. I would love to see some more events of this type at the Museum, whether for Wikipedia or for other purposes. I think there's a whole lot we could do together to help educate people - both about the Museum, as well as about science itself. Somehow, I think that photography could be used to help interest the next generation in scientific subjects (I know that, as well as ham radio, were some of the things that drove me when I was growing up.)

etee, I totally agree! If anyone has any specific ideas, I would love to hear them. In general, we are continuing to work out events of this type for the future, and I will definitely keep you guys posted on events as they come up.

Hey Erin,
This is Andy Tang, and I am a member of the Wookies!! I was wondering when official results from the competition will be posted. I had a great time!
