See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LOCSPX_150918_01.JPG: The Small Press Expo Collection: Since August, 2011, the Library has acquired independent comics and mini-comics from the Small Press Expo's annual festival. The collection is housed in the Serial & Government Publications Division. These items, generally not available through copyright deposit, reflect the innovation and experimentation in subject, format, and artistic technique of today's comic book creators.
2. LOCSPX_150918_13.JPG: The Small Press Expo Collection: The collection includes works that show the evolution of an idea, technique, or story line. Congressman Lewis' moving autobiography, March, first appeared in preview form at SPX a year before the graphic novel. Ken Wong demonstrates the flexibility of print in Tamatebako, retelling a Japanese folktale by constructing a treasure box. Joel Gill's Strange Fruit mini-comic serial of unknown African-Americans became a noteworthy anthology. Chris Ware experiments with formats, characters, and stories in his Acme Novelty Library series.
3. LOCSPX_150918_33.JPG: The Small Press Expo Collection: Small press creators take conventional formats and revitalize them in unique ways. Sunday comic strips transport readers to a fantastically absurd world on the high seas. Classic literature is given new life as parodies using comic books. A fable of love and hardship becomes a graphic novel replete with Arabic calligraphy, exquisite designs, and complex storytelling.
4. LOCSPX_150918_62.JPG: 2014 Ignatz Award Winners & Nominees: SPX presents the Ignatz Awards annually. The award is named for American cartoonist George Herriman's brick-wielding mouse from the "Krazy Kat" comic strip of the 1910s. Unlike mainstream comic awards like the Eisner Awards, the Ignatz honors independent comics. It recognizes exceptional work that challenges popular notions of what comics can achieve, both as an art form and as a means of personal expression.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
