Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NMHMMI_110327_02.JPG: Zeiss microscope: Maj. Walter Reed and Typhoid Board member, Lt. James Carroll, used this microscope. Between 1898 and 1899, Dr. Carroll used a microscope to diagnose patients with typhoid, concluding that Army doctors identified only half of the cases correctly. By collecting detailed case histories of soldiers from over 100 regiments, the board disproved several theories of how typhoid was transmitted and established that an infected person directly or indirectly spread the disease to others in his unit.
2. NMHMMI_110327_06.JPG: Medallion, Hall of Fame for Great Americans: Commemorating Walter Reed's inclusion in the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at New York University.
3. NMHMMI_110403_01.JPG: Zeiss microscope: Maj. Walter Reed and Typhoid Board member, Lt. James Carroll, used this microscope. Between 1898 and 1899, Dr. Carroll used a microscope to diagnose patients with typhoid, concluding that Army doctors identified only half of the cases correctly.

2011 photos: 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. 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. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
