Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. FORDSM_100220_007.JPG: Meet Abraham Lincoln in 1860: a clean-shaven 51-year-old man, still months away from being elected president of the United States. The life mask was done in April in sculptor Leonard Volk's fifth floor studio in Chicago. Over several sittings, Lincoln entertained Volk with "some of the funniest and most laughable of stories." The hands were cast in Lincoln's dining room in Springfield, Illinois, the day after Lincoln's presidential nomination. Lincoln's right hand was noticeably swollen from shaking so many hands the night before.

2010 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs until the third one broke and I started sending them back for repairs. Then I used either the Fuji S200EHX or the Nikon D90 until I got the S100fs ones repaired. At the end of the year I bought a Nikon D5000 but I returned it pretty quickly. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Lexington, KY and Nashville, TN), and my 5th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). My office at the main Commerce Department building closed in October and I was shifted out to the Bureau of the Census in Suitland Maryland. It's good to have a job of course but that killed being able to see basically any cultural events during the day. There's basically nothing of interest that you can see around the Census building. Number of photos taken this year: about 395,000..
