9. IKEMEM_111005_329.JPG: Narrative and Tapestry Imagery: The Eisenhower Memorial stresses the humility, poetry, and values instilled within the American landscape. Eisenhower's personal journey is fundamentally shaped by the values and understanding of the world, as seen through the lens of the American heartland. The tapestry images represents [sic] the landscape of President Eisenhower's home town, Abilene, Kansas. The image of the midwestern landscape is a metaphor for the United States as a whole, both as the geographic center, as well as for a country evolving into its new "world" role.
10. IKEMEM_111005_355.JPG: Tapestry Sample #1 consists of stainless steel cable and stainless steel braided wire composed to develop the tapestry solution. There are four different diameters of cable that are assembled together to form the imagery. This sample was hand produced. The assembly process used resistance welding as the means of attachment for the stainless steel cable. The mock-up is approximately 10 wide by 15 feet tall. This is a proof of concept mock-up as does represent the final detail or connection detailing to the cable net structure. The image is the same on each side of the tapestry.

12. IKEMEM_111005_481.JPG: "Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re." "Gently in manner, strongly in deed." "Because no man is really a man who has lost out of himself all of the boy, I want to speak first of the dreams of a barefoot boy. Frequently, they are to be of a street car conductor or he sees himself as the town policeman, above all he may reach to a position of locomotive engineer, but always in his dreams is that day when he finally comes home. Comes home to a welcome from his own home town. Because today that dream of mine of 45 years or more ago has been realized beyond the wildest stretches of my own imagination, I come here, first, to thank you, to say the proudest thing I can claim is that I am from Abilene..." -- Homecoming speech, Abilene, Kansas, June 22, 1945 General: "Humanity must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends." -- Guildhall Address, London, England, June 12, 1945 President: "We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom." -- Second Inaugural Address, January 21, 1957

2011 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used 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: Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN), 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), my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). 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: just over 390,000.
