Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
FTSUMB_030825_004.JPG: The Fort Sumter visitor center is located on the docks next to the South Carolina Aquarium. According to the ranger, the height of it is the height of the original walls at Fort Sumter (it's much lower now) and the length is the length of the largest side of the fort.
FTSUMB_030825_012.JPG: Out in the water is Castle Pinckney, one of the other forts that guarded the city during the Civil War. In the distance, you can see Fort Sumter.
FTSUMB_030825_024.JPG: In the background is the aircraft carrier, USS Yorktown, which is stationed here as a tourist attraction.
FTSUMB_030825_086.JPG: While Charleston has extensive zoning restrictions, neighboring Mount Pleasant has nothing. The building on the left was built for lawyers feeding off the tobacco settlement. The high-rises on the right are luxury apartments. The ranger told me that the places in there that you *didn't* want were about $825,000.
FTSUMB_030825_093.JPG: Huge military transports flew overhead several times while I was on the boat going to Fort Sumter.
FTSUMB_030825_110.JPG: This is Battery Park. The two buildings in the middle are identified in other photographs.
FTSUMB_030825_133.JPG: The USS Yorktown is anchored here as a tourist attraction
FTSUMB_030825_164.JPG: The cranes on the right are for unloading cargo ships. The white building in the middle is the South Carolina Aquarium. In front and to the left of it is the Fort Sumter visitor center.

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.
