Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NMHM_080114_028.JPG: Another picture from the new exhibit that's going in
2. NMHM_080114_086.JPG: I always love seeing this painting since the Forest Glen Seminary area is being fixed up now for condos and such. I imagine the shattered housing market in 2008 isn't helping the project any.
3. NMHM_080114_112.JPG: This is the skeleton of a 47-year-old soldier who had served 11 months in the Spanish-American War of 1898. Some years after the war, bone began to form across most of his joints, so that he was unable to move. For 15 years, he lived in the U.S. Soldier's Home in Washington, DC. His front teeth were removed so that he could be fed because he could not open his mouth. When he died, he willed his body to the Army Medical Museum, now the National Museum of Health and Medicine. Doctors originally diagnosed his disease as chronic rheumatoid arthritis, but recently other diseases have been suggested. Ongoing studies should help resolve the question. Note the bony fusion of almost all of the joints. The bones tinted yellow are replacements from another skeleton for the original diseased bones which were removed after death for research.
4. NMHM_080114_127.JPG: The fractured ends of this femur were never properly set. The fracture healed, and the bone was strong enough to support the body weight, but the person walked with a limp.
5. NMHM_080114_132.JPG: An iron arrowhead caused a fracture above the left eye socket in this skull.
6. NMHM_080114_163.JPG: Kidneys. Arteriolarsclerosis.
7. NMHM_080114_168.JPG: Suspended Self Portrait, Carolyn L. Henne "Suspended Self Portrait" is an interactive sculpture that consists of 89 vinyl sheets painted with cross-section images taken from the Visible Human data set. To determine the cross-sections, artist Carolyn Henne made of mold of herself and sliced it. Then she painted a corresponding Visible Human cross-section -- organs, muscles, fat, bone -- on each sheet. From a distance, the body seems to float in three dimensions. Closer up, the internal organs seem to assemble and disassemble as the visit moves around it. Blowing on the sheets or running fingers along the edges causes the figure to subtly move as if floating or breathing. The use of information from the Visible Human dataset allowed the artist to literally depict the internal being. Like much of Carolyn Henne's work, "Suspended Self Portrait" involves an attempt to portray facets of the inner self that are often unclaimed by the self that must maintain its profile in the real world. "Suspended Self Portrait" was part of a larger installation called "There's Here." "There's Here" was a contemplation of the here and now via a depiction of the afterlife. This installation incorporated a number of interactive elements fixtures. "Suspended Self Portrait" was suspended between the underworld and the heavens.

2008 photos: Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year. Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina. Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater. Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
