Description of Pictures: There was a whacko religious group that prophesied that the earth would end on May 21. Whoops... Afterward, they claimed there were false prophets and the actual demise of the earth would be on, oh, let's say October 21 instead. You have to wonder about folks like this.
From their site at http://www.2011judgementday.com/ :
Apology & Forgiveness
First of all, let me apologize to everyone for having said that there would be a huge earthquake and a literal rapture or catching up into heaven of God's people on May 21. Obviously, this did not happen. I have no pride in this issue. I was sincerely wrong at least in this respect, and for this, I ask your forgiveness in like manner to how the Lord Jesus Christ has already forgiven me. ...
I must still believe based on all the biblical proofs and evidences that, although May 21 was not the time of the literal earthquake or rapture, May 21 was the beginning of Judgment Day and the end of any possibility for salvation as we have always taught. I must also still believe that the world is set to be destroyed on October 21 as we have always taught. The biblical proofs in my mind are far too vast in support of these dates. Just because one piece of the puzzle - the literal earthquake simultaneously with the rapture - did not take place as thought (the rapture and earthquake are virtually one and the same event; they cannot be separated), it cannot by itself invalidate all the proofs, evidences, and signs in support of the biblical calendar of history, which has been under intense scrutiny now for about 40 years. It would not be wise to throw the baby out with the bath water as the saying goes, or throw out the almost completed puzzle because of one wrongly placed piece. I and thousands of others have not been able to legitimately find an error in the biblical calendar to date, and the ever growing multitude of logical number patterns discovered in the calendar have proved it to be quite accurate.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
SIGNS_110527_03.JPG: Note the sticker with "Nope" written on it. It's hard to believe they actually paid for advertising for this event. Do you think they paid cash or did they do it on the installment plan figuring they wouldn't have to pay the bill when it came due?
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.

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.
