Description of Pictures: Preparing for the flood. I showed up pretty late but got to spend a few hours volunteering at the C&O Canal National Historic Park in Great Falls, Maryland helping them move furniture in preparation of the predicted flood. I can't say I was all that helpful but it felt good to be part of it. I was also amazed at how scientifically sand-bagging is done these days at big places. To call it sand-bagging is anachronistic though. They had pre-fabbed containers that Bobcat front-loaders filled up with sand. Then they covered the bins and put regular sandbags on top just to keep the covers in place. But it's still sand-bagging I guess.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

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..
