Photography project
Thursday, January 19th, 2012 at 9:22 am by JacquelineI’ve posted a decent number of photos over the years — nearly every photo on this website is one I’ve taken. While one could feasibly wander back through my archives to view them, I decided to spare one the trouble.
I’ve collected a comprehensive list of my photography-themed posts. I have yet to add a complete gallery of all the photos I’ve ever posted, but that’s in the works.
New to your eyes, dear reader, is the special section on the Vassar Palmer Gallery exhibit Through the Student Lens, which featured two of my photos!
Watching leaves turn

During my senior year at Vassar, I periodically took photos through my bedroom window of the trees and the courtyard area between all the senior apartments.
The end result? This series, showing the seasons changing throughout the year. Photos are unedited.
If I did this kind of series again, I’d make a point of putting the camera in the same place every time, and taking photos at set intervals. I think it still turned out pretty cool.
Trip to Wallops
Sunday, July 24th, 2011 at 11:53 am by JacquelineWallops photos!
Earlier this month, everyone in my lab took a trip to NASA Wallops Flight Facility and Assateague State Park to test GROVER2 on the beach. There’s a video of some of the lab’s preparations over on Geeked on Goddard – take a look!
Although I’m not specifically working on GROVER2 (I’m working on the LIDAR-assisted robotic group exploration project, as briefly mentioned earlier), it was a good trip. A few photos:
Fencing, thesis, snow
Thursday, January 27th, 2011 at 12:01 pm by JacquelineA new semester…
Long time, no writing — it’s the start of a new semester (my last semester!) and I’ve been busy with a number of different things:
- The VC Women’s Fencing team. We’re in full competition mode. We conquered in Cleveland recently, vanquished difficult foes at Brown University, and are gearing up for a big match at Wellesley next Sunday, which will decide whether we claim the Northeast Conference Championship this year!
- My undergraduate cognitive science thesis. I’m looking at the emergent behavior of a group of simulated prey robots that can communicate with each other about the presence of a predator. I have questions about communication, environment, and motivation. Being a year-long project, I’m supposedly halfway through, though in reality, it’s not so clear-cut. I spent all summer reading papers and doing background research, filled last semester with hypotheses, possible architectures, and more background research, wrote up a first draft this winter break, and am now hard at work on the simulation itself.
- Taking photos of the weather. An unusually large amount of snow has fallen at Vassar — what better to do than document it with a camera? (Click for larger versions.)
- Figuring out my post-graduation life. On the advice of many folks, I’m not heading immediately to grad school. My enthusiasm for learning, research, and knowledge hasn’t vanished — quite the contrary. I’m going to spend at least a year exploring the places outside the classroom, longer depending on where I end up. Academia-land? The wide world beyond? Still up in the air.
Autumn Colors
Monday, November 1st, 2010 at 12:10 pm by JacquelineWhich is your favorite season?
Usually, I can’t decide. But when my Hudson valley campus is decked out in full-blown autumn colors, my vote swings in favor of chill fall air, feet crunching through drifts of leaves, and myriad shades of red, brown, orange, and yellow.
Yes, I do, on occasion, meander across campus with my camera. Click for the larger versions!
NASA LARSS: Photo of the Week
Monday, August 16th, 2010 at 9:48 pm by Jacqueline
My labmate Jake and I are in the NASA Langley photo of the week!
The photographer talked to us at the summer intern poster session last Wednesday. He saw our videos of the quadcopters in flight, rightly decided that these particular aerial vehicles are awesome, and asked us if we would mind a quick photo shoot.
It pays to work with cool robots.
