The Sketchbook Project #31

Page 24.  (9/21/2010)  I went to see the science teachers at the
high school where I teach in search of imagery today.  I told the
Physics teacher my sketchbook theme was "science project
gone wrong."  He said, "You don't need books for that.  Just get
a camera.  It happens here every day."
Page 25.  (10/31/2010)  When I was in 10th grade, I took Biology
(Honors) with Mr. Phoebus.  We dissected a fetal pig.  I had a lot of 

questions?  Where did the school get the pigs?  Slaughterhouses,
but then from a science catalog.  So, they would have died
anyway?  Yes.  Mr. Phoebus was one of the smartest people I'd
ever met (still today, I'm not sure if I've met a smarter person) and
I respected him, so I dissected the pig.  And I really enjoyed it.
