Description of Subject Matter: When I first arrived in DC, I was a workaholic and spent 60 hours a week working on either my regular job, various part-time jobs, or DOS-based PC projects under the Wayne Software name. I donated my annual leave to people and almost all of my vacations were for family-related affairs (nothing wrong with that of course). I hadn't seen the cherry blossoms for the first 15 years I was here and never visited the statue Liberty when it was off the dome of the Capitol. Then I got into the Civil War and photography and a whole new world opened up. As I started to do more things, I realized it was time to actually give back to the places that were providing me such joy. So I started joining the Friends of the National Zoo, the Smithsonian, the Civil War Preservation Trust, etc. At the zoo, I purchased a number of tiles. These are their pictures.
Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.
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.
