Smithsonian Associates -- Celebration of The New Yorker Cartoons:

Description of Pictures: Considered a national treasure, the cartoons of The New Yorker are beloved iconic images that have made us laugh at the social issues of the day and have defined a distinctly American sensibility. Since the magazine’s debut in 1925, the cartoons have been a barometer of the human condition and have tweaked the nation’s collective funny bone. Pasted to the refrigerator, tacked on the office bulletin board, or taped to a computer monitor, everyone seems to have a favorite. From marriage to high finance, from pets to athletic pursuits, their scope has ranged from the mundane to the magnificent. Drawing on illustrations from the magazine’s archives, cartoon editor Robert Mankoff reflects on eight decades of New Yorker cartoons with fellow cartoonists George Booth, Matt Diffee, and Danny Shanahan. (The above was the Smithsonian Associates description of the event.)

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SANY_041007_068.JPG: Left to right: Robert Mankoff, George Booth, Matt Diffee, and Danny Shanahan.
2. SANY_041007_287.JPG: Iconic New Yorker magazine cartoonist George Booth, seen here at a 2004 Smithsonian event, passed on November 1, 2022. His Wikipedia entry describes his cartoons as featuring "an older everyman, everywoman, or everycouple beset by modern complexity, perplexing each other, or interacting with cats and dogs." That's accurate enough.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
