Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIAHGB_020911_01.JPG: The next series of pictures are from an exhibit called "The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden" which documents the presidents and the electoral process. Artifacts include things like a ballot from the Florida election of 2000.
2. SIAHGB_020911_07.JPG: George Washington's military uniform
3. SIAHGB_020911_10.JPG: This was a rather cute display where you could pretend you were participating in a Presidential delivery. The screen on the right would show you as you were recorded, complete with the fake backdrop and podium.
4. SIAHGB_020911_16.JPG: This was from an exhibit called "Fast Attacks and Boomers: Submarines in the Cold War." I knew someone in the Navy who had been involved in the preparation of the exhibit and he had recommended it.
5. SIAHGB_020911_18.JPG: One of the drums used by the honor guard during Abraham Lincoln's funeral
6. SIAHGB_020911_32.JPG: Two pieces of political paraphernalia -- a Teddy Roosevelt Rough Rider doll and a Jimmy Carter peanut. They also had various teddy bears from TR's era on display.
7. SIAHGB_021216_03.JPG: Part of the American President exhibit. This is Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's filing cabinet which Nixon's henchmen had broken into, trying to find stuff against Ellsberg who had leaked the Pentagon Papers to the press.
8. SIAHGB_021216_09.JPG: These artifacts are from the trial of the Lincoln assassination co-conspirators.
9. SIAHGB_021216_11.JPG: A teddy bear, inspired by Teddy Roosevelt's exploits
10. SIAHGB_021216_15.JPG: Ping pong paddles created after Nixon sent a team of American ping pong players to China.

2002 photos: This was the year I started the photo web site. It started to come together in August 2002, mostly as a way of allowing me to keep track of the pictures I was taking. It took awhile to add some basic bells and whistles (logging didn't get added until November) but it's been pretty much like it started out since then. Archaic but working, and free! Trips this year: Two weeks out west, one week in New York, and one week down south. Image quality isn't going to be very good for the first half of this year because these are scans of prints. Equipment this year: I took the plunge and bought my first digital camera. It was August 2002 and I bought an Epson PhotoPC 3100Z. While a nice camera, it had some quirks and bumping it would result in it being totally out of focus until you manually shut it down -- something which blurred almost every picture I took in New York City one day.
