Tirana, Albania

Here we are on another manuscript photography expedition. This week we are in Tirana, Albania working at the National Archives. We are mainly working on photographing hard-to-read manuscripts with ultraviolet light. So far everything is going well. The people here are very friendly and helpful. Tonight after work we had dinner in town near a local park. There were families out everywhere enjoying the nice weather and having dinner outside. Tomorrow we go back to work taking more pictures. The work is tedious and long but extremely rewarding when we see text in a manuscript that has not been seen for centuries... very cool!
