Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. VMFA_200102_005.JPG: Susan Point Butterfly Whorl, 2018
2. VMFA_200102_012.JPG: Glenn Ligon A Small Band, 2015 "I had to, like, open the bruise up and let some of the blues . . . bruise blood come out to show them." -- - Daniel Hamm Ligon has become one of the most influential artists of his generation. Working in a variety of media, from painting to neon sculpture and installations, he presents a raw examination of culture and social identity mediated through the lens of history, literature, iconic works of art, and material culture. The title of this work is extracted from a quote by Daniel Hamm, imprisoned as part of the famed "Harlem Six" or "Blood Brothers," a group of young black men wrongly accused of murder in 1965. Hamm and four other members of the group -- Wallace Baker, William Craig, Ronald Felder, and Walter Thomas -- were eventually exonerated. Robert Rice however remains incarcerated, serving a life sentence. In a statement shared a few days following his release from police custody, Hamm spoke publicly about the brutality he experienced at the hands of prison guards. Hamm's quote is particularly poignant against the current social landscape in which incidents of police violence against and wrongful incarcerations of young African American men have continued to rise.

4. VMFA_200102_039.JPG: "I must have flowers, always, and always." -- Claude Monet This garden is brought to you through the generosity of The Council of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
5. VMFA_200102_045.JPG: Oronzio Maldarelli Bianca No. 2, 1951

7. VMFA_200102_060.JPG: Arman (Armanda Fernandez) Captain Nemo's Accumulation, 1979
8. VMFA_200102_065.JPG: Slavery and Freedom Hands that worked this land
9. VMFA_200102_068.JPG: Like this enslaved community photographed in Hanover County, Virginia, in 1862, African Americans owned by the Robinson included men, women, and children.
10. VMFA_200102_070.JPG: Two slave houses, listed on tax records for this site, appear on this 1865 map produced by a Union surveyor. The dwellings stood due west of Robinson House. One appears larger, perhaps incorporating the estate kitchen. The arrow designates the location of the mansion and cabins, then accessed from Grove Road by parallel driveways.
11. VMFA_200102_072.JPG: At least three newspaper notices regarding escaped slaves were published on behalf of Rebecca Robinson during the Civil War. Her carriage driver, John, described in an 1864 ad, may have been the same man listed on the purchase receipt for $1,740 the previous year.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11. The child president's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here.The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year! Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Because of COVID, the farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC -- and didn't do any overnight travel anywhere. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995. Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
