"The all pervading feeling was an enthusiastic and ardent admiration for the man who had created the Army of the Potomac. In the realization of all observers, even the most experienced officers, the Army was born that day. Those who had visited its busy camps and attended the inspections and reviews of divisions had formed no adequate conception of the army as a whole... Everyone in and around Washington had felt the pulsations of momentous preparations and the throes of a tremendous and vigorous growth going on about them since the 1st of August, but on the day of the grand review at Bailey's Cross-Roads, the eyes of all spectators, and even of the army itself, were suddenly opened."
-- Colonel William Averell, Commander of the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry

Description of Subject Matter: "At the Crossroads of History: Baileys Through the Centuries," NOVA Community College Conference, November 11, 2011, 8:30a.m. - 3:30p.m.
"Grand Concert featuring music of the Civil War," Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center at NOVA Alexandria Campus, November 11, 2011, 7p.m. - 9p.m.

First, on Friday, November 11, during the day, a symposium, "At the Crossroads of History: Baileys through the Centuries," will be held at Northern Virginia Community College's (NOVA's) Alexandria campus on the past, present and future of Bailey's Crossroads. As Dr. Jean H. Braden, Assistant Dean, Division of Liberal Arts, has indicated, the symposium expects to present papers, panels and presentations on the native population, the Quakers, Barnum and Bailey Circus, the history of education in Northern Virginia, Abraham Lincoln and his relationship with Northern Virginia, fortifications of Washington, African-Americans in Northern Virginia, the influx of immigrant populations and the redevelopment of the region. LATCRA appreciates the efforts of Dr. Braden, Dr. Jimmie McClellan, Dean of the Division of Liberal Arts and Dr. Wendy Matthews, Director of the NOVA Alexandria Campus Band.
Later that evening, from 7p.m. to 9p.m., NOVA's Alexandria Campus Band will offer a special concert. Dr. Wendy Matthew will lead the Alexandria Campus Band, the Mount Vernon Swing Band and the Arlington Children's Chorus in a concert at the Schlesinger Center for the Performing Arts featuring music that was composed for the regimental bands of the Civil War.

Missing Some Bigger photos? Each new digital camera by default wants to take larger and larger photos. To save myself time and server space, I don't upload to the web site versons of photos that are bigger than 2.75 megabytes to the web page. If you want the biggest sized photo and you don't see a link bigger than 0640x0480, email Bruce Guthrie and I'll email specific photos to you.

2011 photos: Equipment this year: I was using mostly the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back. Trips this year: Savannah, GA in March to cover a Civil War Trust conference. New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday -- people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting. I did my annual pilgrimage to the San Diego Comic-Con in July, adding a few days in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Chattanooga, TN to cover the Civil War Trust's Grand Review conference. Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: 392,000. Absurd, isn't it?
