Description of Pictures: I photographed Tai Shan a bit before he was sent back to China on February 4. His final goodbye celebration was during a snow day.

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SINZP_100123_0004.JPG: Tai Shan's mother
2. SINZP_100123_0078.JPG: Bob Lamb, FONZ director, is on the left
3. SINZP_100123_0091.JPG: They're getting Tai Shan used to walking through a crate to prepare him for being shipped back to China. They've set it up at his door so he has to walk through it every time he enters or leaves his yard. When it's time to move him, he walks into it and they close it before he can get out.
4. SINZP_100123_0102.JPG: The milk crate had been coated with honey so he spent his time licking it
5. SINZP_100123_1003.JPG: Back to Tai Shan's mother
6. SINZP_100130_148.JPG: Tai Shan @ his farewell event
7. SINZP_100130_223.JPG: Tai Shan @ his farewell event
8. SINZP_100130_234.JPG: This is the father, not Tai Shan
9. SINZP_100130_455.JPG: Tai Shan's second "cake" didn't go over big. He had been fed earlier in the day for a donor event.
10. SINZP_100201_022.JPG: This was the window he could use to stare at his parents. He'd hang there periodically, seeing them for the last time.

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..
