Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BRIDGE_021215_004.JPG: "Archangel". This is considered an "anamorphic projection" that looks proper only if you see it from an angle.
2. BRIDGE_021215_020.JPG: "The Light Within."
3. BRIDGE_021215_023.JPG: "The Forgotten Song". This is one of my favorite ones. It's got some really nice detail.
4. BRIDGE_021215_031.JPG: Note that even the overhanging vines are fake. It's a solid concrete structure.
5. BRIDGE_021215_032.JPG: "The Unfound Door." This one's kind of cute. It looks like it should go somewhere but it doesn't.
6. BRIDGE_021215_047.JPG: "The Great Frederick Fair"
7. BRIDGE_021215_071.JPG: "Paths of Subatomic Particles."

Description of Subject Matter: The Community Bridge in Frederick, Maryland was the idea of William Cochran. In 1993, he proposed taking a plain concrete bridge, called the Carroll Street Bridge, and turning it into a work of art. He surveyed the city to find out what sort of symbols they'd like to see. He took their ideas and incorporated them as "carvings" painted into the bridge. It's a technique called "trompe l'oeil" ("deceive the eye"). It's a really neat effect since it's art pretending it's stone work. Of course they have their own Web site at http://bridge.skyline.net which not only describes all of the images but even tells you who suggested them.
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.

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.
