Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SINZT_060320_01.JPG: "For Grandma & Grandpa -- Bruce Guthrie" in section 4. My grandparents used to visit the San Diego Zoo every week or so when they retired to that area. My grandmother had just died when I bought this tile.
2. SINZT_060320_11.JPG: "Meow! From Elsie Guthrie" in section 6. Elsie was my second cat (after Lucy and before BC). The choice of the ape was the tile people's.
3. SINZT_060320_20.JPG: "For Emma and Charlotte T" in section 19. I bought this one for Richard and Amy Thompson's kids.
4. SINZT_060320_33.JPG: "Happy Snuggles Margot & Bruce" was for a new prairie dog playland that the zoo was raising money for.

Description of Subject Matter: When I first arrived in DC, I was a workaholic and spent 60 hours a week working on either my regular job, various part-time jobs, or DOS-based PC projects under the Wayne Software name. I donated my annual leave to people and almost all of my vacations were for family-related affairs (nothing wrong with that of course). I hadn't seen the cherry blossoms for the first 15 years I was here and never visited the statue Liberty when it was off the dome of the Capitol. Then I got into the Civil War and photography and a whole new world opened up. As I started to do more things, I realized it was time to actually give back to the places that were providing me such joy. So I started joining the Friends of the National Zoo, the Smithsonian, the Civil War Preservation Trust, etc. At the zoo, I purchased a number of tiles. These are their pictures.
Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.

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.
