Wallace kept a record of all what he saw by collecting insects but also by drawing detailed sketches. Some of his drawings can be seen on the fantastic Natural History Museum Website - The Wallace Collection. Paper and pencil is all that he needed.

So after getting the Panasonic SD60 and a memory card I had to learn how to upload video onto imovie, then edit, and then share, and then hope to god it doesn't get nicked.
Because I can't draw for toffee.
