Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. ROSART_100524_01.JPG: Mural in Rosslyn
2. ROSART_100524_44.JPG: Artist: Ned Kahn Title: Liquid Pixels (2002) Material: stainless steel disks, stainless steel pins, injection molded plastic backing panels This artwork consists of six 42 x 25 foot vertical panels mounted on the North and East sides of this building, to which 630.000 one –inch diameter brushed stainless steel disks, attached to stainless steel pins, have been affixed. The work responds kinetically to the wind and light, mimicking the flow of air currents and light conditions across its surface. Funded and developed by the Steuart
3. ROSART_100524_61.JPG: Artist: Chris Gardner Title: Cupid's Garden (1994) The artist imagines this work as "the garden where Cupid grows his arrows." Arrows have been a predominant motif in the artist's sculptural work for some time, as Gardner enjoys the dynamism and sense of movement they convey and the numerous metaphorical possibilities they offer. Cupid's Garden is appropriately located on a traffic island where several streets converge. The arrows allude to signs that direct the busy flow of traffic and become shiny directional counterparts for the cars dashing by.

Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.

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..
