Description of Pictures: The Willard Hotel: A Landmark Reborn: A fixture in Washington history for more than 150 years, the Willard Hotel has a fascinating history of its own. Richard Wallace Carr, president of The Oliver Carr Company, which redeveloped the hotel in the 1980s, and author of The Willard Hotel, An Illustrated History, will discuss the hotel's history from its beginnings on Pennsylvania Avenue, the purchase by the Willard family, its history during the Civil War, redevelopment at the turn of the 20th century, and its demise in 1968 and resurrection in 1986. After the lecture he will sign copies of The Willard Hotel, An Illustrated History, and his wife Marie will sign Dolly and Ike at The Willard.

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.

2006 photos: Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point..

Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
