Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIHIRO_970805_01.JPG: Hirshhorn; Back I-IV Another shot of Matisse's "Back I-IV".

3. SIHIRO_970805_03.JPG: Hirshhorn; Burghers of Calais This statue is called "The Burghers of Calais" by Auguste Rodin and it resides in the outdoor sculpture garden at the Hirshhorn Museum. Six figures are shown in the throes of wide-ranging emotion as they turn themselves over to the conquering forces to save their city.

5. SIHIRO_970901_01.JPG: Hirshhorn; Back I-IV Here's a shot of "Back I-IV" by Henry Matisse at the Hirschhorn. It's an interesting sculpture, showing the back of a female figure which becomes increasingly abstract as it goes from left to right.

7. SIHIRO_970901_03.JPG: Hirshhorn; Burghers of Calais Another shot of it.

1997 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Image quality is going to be variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints. The images shown here were scanned in two phases. In the early years of the website, I rescanned a selection of pre-digital images, all at fairly low quality settings. During the COVID pandemic, I launched the Great Rescanning Effort, rescanning ALL of my pre-digital images from various media (prints, slides, negatives, etc) at higher resolution and quality settings. Mutilple versions of images -- some from the initial scannning phase, some from prints, some from slides/negatives -- were posted so there are frequently duplicate images on the same page. At some point, I hope to have time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates but that'll have to wait until all of the pre-digital images are finally posted. Trips this year: North Carolina (Dad), Florida (Mom), using a time share in Arkansas to visit Civil War sites in Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. The Civil War became my excuse to see places I'd never been to in my life and it was a great motivator for 20 years or so.
