1. HARPRR_141111_35.JPG: Posters of the Works Progress Administration: In 1935, in the midst of America's Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to put millions of unemployed Americans back to work. Craftsmen, technicians, mechanics, scholars, writers and artisans were given the opportunity to work using their skills, talents, and training. By 1935 the WPA's Federal Art Program was the main employer for the nation's artists and included woodcuts, lithography, easel painting, sculpture, watercolors, photography, preservation of Native American design and poster making. WPA posters depicted health and safety programs, cultural programs, travel, and tourism, educational programs and community activities. In the history of the WPA art projects, over two million posters were printed from 35,000 designs. Today, only about two thousand of the posters are known to exist.

Wikipedia Description: Harpers Ferry Train Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Harpers Ferry Train Station is a railway station in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, United States. It is currently served by Amtrak's Capitol Limited as well as MARC commuter service. Built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the station is part of the Harpers Ferry Historic District.

It is a wooden frame Victorian style building, dating from 1889. It sits on buried foundations of original Harpers Ferry armory buildings.

In 2007, the station was rededicated following a $2.2 million renovation, which included restoration of the station's tower.

2014 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Winchester, VA, Nashville, TN, and Atlanta, GA), Michigan to visit mom in the hospice before she died and then a return trip after she died, and my 9th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, Sacramento, Oakland, and Los Angeles). Ego strokes: Paul Dickson used one of my photos as the author photo in his book "Aphorisms: Words Wrought by Writers". Number of photos taken this year: just over 470,000.
