Description of Pictures: Metro: Behind the Scenes:
As part of Metro's 30th anniversary, participants were taken around to the original Metro stations (the first was Rhode Island Avenue, and we also did Union Station, Judiciary Square, Gallery Place, Metro Center, and Farragut North) by Metro's interim general manager, Dan Tangherlini. We heard the history of the DC Metro system, the stories behind the stops, and what's coming up next.
The tour was part of WalkingTown, DC. Presented by Cultural Tourism DC, the "Spring Edition" featured a weekend of 50 free walking tours (and a few bike and boat tours) in neighborhoods across Washington, DC. Their web site is at http://www.culturaltourismdc.org

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com

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..
Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia.
Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
