Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. TOWVW_041204_003.JPG: North. The big road is I-83. The tall building to the left of it is the BT Alex Brown Building.
2. TOWVW_041204_067.JPG: Southeast. The front row has the Hard Rock Cafe on one side and the National Aquarium in Baltimore on the other. The tall building is the Marriott Waterfront Hotel. To the right of it is the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse.
3. TOWVW_041204_073.JPG: East. The park in the distance is Patterson Park. The tent in front is the Columbus Center for Maritime Biology.
4. TOWVW_041204_077.JPG: East
5. TOWVW_041204_083.JPG: East. The tall building is the Marriott Waterfront Hotel. The small building next to it with the smokestack is the Baltimore Public Works Museum.
6. TOWVW_041204_088.JPG: Northeast. The tower on the left is the Phoenix Shot Tower. You can also see the ESPN Zone building on the right.
7. TOWVW_041204_097.JPG: Northeast. The tall brick building is the Phoenix Shot Tower. Built in 1828, it was erected in less than 6 months using more than one million bricks and no exterior scaffolding. 215 feet tall, it was the nation's tallest structure for nearly 20 years after its completion. The curious structure was part of a factory where gun shot was made by pouring molten lead through sieves down an open shaft in the tower. As the lead spun and cooled, it became perfectly round and smooth. In its hey-day, 12,500,000 pounds of gun shot were produced annually. The tower escaped demolition in the 1920's and in 1976 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. The balloon is part of the Port Discovery Childrens' Museum.
8. TOWVW_041204_124.JPG: Southeast. That's the National Aquarium below us. You can also see the USS Torsk.

10. TOWVW_041204_135.JPG: Southeast. The Domino Sugar sign is one of America's largest signs. It's been here since 1951. The size of a basketball court, it sits atop one of the world's most productive sugar refineries. Opened in 1922, the plant processes more than a million tons of raw sugar a year. The water in front of the Domino Sugar building is the Inner Harbor itself. The bridge in the distance is the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Description of Subject Matter: Located on the 27th floor of the World Trade Center, the world's tallest pentagonal building is home to the only Baltimore attraction to offer an awe-inspiring view of Maryland's urban center. They do a nice job with the signage up there, giving plenty of history and background information about the city, as well as identifying what you can see from each direction. The only major problem was that the outside windows don't get cleaned that often and your photographs are frequently obscured by water spots.

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.
