Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. GAHM_100716_40.JPG: Steamer Trunk: This steamer held all the belongings of the family of Heinrich and Hildegard Neumeister, who immigrated to America from Lichtenberg, Bavaria in 1875.
2. GAHM_100716_77.JPG: Georg-Freidrich Handel, German Composer 1685-1759: This bust of German composer Georg-Freidrich Handel was won in 1903 by the Washington Sangerbund at the 20th Sangerfest of the Nordosterlicher Sangerbund (Northeastern Singing Association) of America, which was held in Baltimore, Maryland. The Washington Sangerbund singers were awarded the bust as the first prize in the City Competition Second Class. Six thousand singers attended the Sangerfest in Baltimore that year, and President Theodore Roosevelt gave the principal address at the Grand Concert. The sculpture was designed by JM Didusch and Son of Baltimore, Maryland. The bronze was cast by Roman Bronze Works of Brooklyn, New York. Roman Bronze Works was the pre-eminent bronze foundry during the age of Beaux Arts-style sculpture. It was the first American foundry to specialize in the lost-wax casting method, and the foundry was constructed to make Tiffany's bronze accessories and lamp bases. From 1898, fames American sculptures Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell worked exclusively with Roman Bronze Works.

2010 photos: 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. Overnight trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Lexington, KY and Nashville, TN), and my 5th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). 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. Number of photos taken this year: about 395,000..
