Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NMHMLI_050618_02.JPG: The Abraham Lincoln case. You can see the life mask of his face and hands above and then remnants of his death at the bottom.
2. NMHMLI_050618_08.JPG: On the far left is a lock of hair removed from the site of the wound. The two sections in the mid-left are fragments of Lincoln's skull removed during the autopsy. Above right is a cuff strained with Lincoln's blood from the shirt of Edward Curtis, who assisted in the autopsy. The stick on the bottom right is the probe used by Dr. Barnes to locate the bullet. The first right is bullet that killed Lincoln.
3. NMHMLI_050618_23.JPG: "THIS dust was once the Man." Abraham Lincoln: The Final Casualty of the War: On the evening of April 14th, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was attending a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington. John Wilkes Booth entered the presidential box and fired a single bullet from a derringer into the back of Lincoln's head. As Booth escaped from the theater, Dr. Charles Leale made his way through the audience to Lincoln's box. Leale quickly assessed the wound as fatal. The president was moved to a boarding house located across the street from Ford's Theatre. Several physicians attended Lincoln, including U.S. Army Surgeon General Joseph K. Barnes of the Army Medical Museum. Using a probe, Barnes located some fragments of Lincoln's skull and the ball lodged six inches inside his brain. Lincoln, who never regained consciousness, was comforted until his breathing stopped at 7:20am on April 15th.

2005 photos: Equipment this year: I used four cameras -- two Fujifilm S7000 cameras (which were plagued by dust inside the lens), a new Fujifilm S5200 (nice but not great and I hated the proprietary xD memory chips), and a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (returned because it felt flimsy to me). I gave my Epson camera to my catsitter. Both of the S7000s were in for repairs over Christmas. Trips this year: Florida (for Lotusphere), a driving trip down south (seeing sites in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia), Williamsburg, and Chicago. Number of photos taken this year: 147,000.
