I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Historic Campaign:
After nearly two years of campaigning, the candidate who would become the first black U.S. president was making his final push for votes. Damon Winter of The New York Times had been photographing Illinois Sen. Barack Obama on and off for months, taking tens of thousands of pictures. Winter had been on the campaign trail so often that he could recite Obama's stump speech himself. So he knew something special was happening when the candidate showed up an hour early to a cold, rain-soaked rally at Widener University in Chester, Pa., and began to give a rousing address.
"I was excited. I just shot frame after frame after frame. I just knew there was going to be a really good image that came out of that," Winter said. "He looked very strong, and kind of defiant. ... He sort of embraced the moment, reveled in toughing out the nasty weather."
One week later, Obama was elected president.

After the Storm:
In August and September 2008, the small Caribbean nation of Haiti, the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, was devastated by four back-to-back tropical storms and hurricanes. After Tropical Storm Hanna hit, Patrick Farrell of The Miami Herald caught a United Nations helicopter into the mid-size city of Gonaives, which had been almost completely flooded.
"I thought, 'Oh, my God. How can they recover?' " Farrell said. "People were just walking around in a daze and didn't fully grasp what had happened to them."
Everywhere Farrell looked, Haitians were trying to salvage what they could. One naked, mud-caked boy was trying to rescue a damaged baby stroller from the muck. "Like pretty much everybody, he had lost everything," Farrell said. "To me, it relays the struggle, the aftermath of the storm, but it also kind of [makes you ask], 'Why?' "
By the time the storms ended, nearly 800 Haitians had lost their lives and more than a million were left homeless.

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