Description of Pictures: Pretty much the Smithsonian description of this event: In September, 1944, eight American pilots were shot down over Chichi Jima. They were "flyboys" -- the young men who took the American military into the air and made it triumphant. Seven of the pilots were captured by Japanese troops and taken prisoner. One, George H.W. Bush, was rescued by an American submarine, and went on to become the nation's 41st president. Historian James Bradley discusses in his book "Flyboys" what actually happened to the seven prisoners. In a fascinating and direct discussion this night, he shared their moving story--one which, up till now, had remained a mystery. Bradley is the author of "Flags of Our Fathers" and the son of one of the men who raised the American flag on Iwo Jima.

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.

2003 photos: Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
