Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
TOWG_041204_03.JPG: Northeast. In the far left, the tower with the clock is the Bromo Seltzer Tower, built in 1911. Captain Isaac Emerson, a Baltimore chemist and druggist, had a company which developed Bromo Seltzer tonic. He hired Joseph Sperry to build his company's headquarters at Lombard and Eutaw streets. Modeled after Florence Italy's Pallazzo Vacchio, the narrow 15-story structure is constructed of yellow brick on a steel frame. The four-dial gravity clock has the letters B-R-O-M-O S-E-L-Z-E-R instead of the hour digits. Originally, there was a 51-foot replica of the company's blue glass bottle on the top of tower. That was removed in 1936. The tower is currently being converted to artists' studios.
Below that building is the Bank of America Center. The tallest building to the right is the Legg Mason Office Building. The building to the right of that is the 100 East Pratt Street Office Building.
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.

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.
