Description of Pictures: I went kind of crazy this time. I extensively covered the Arms & Armor, Chamber of Wonders, the Collector's Study, and European Porcelain galleries -- all of which show up under "Other" on my site. Lots of photos...

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.

Slide Show: Want to see the pictures as a slide show? [Slideshow]

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. WALTEO_110109_0102.JPG: Collector's Study: This room evokes the private study or studioto (literally "little study"), where an educated, wealthy nobleman living in the 1600s in the Southern Netherlands (present-day Belgium) might spend leisure time studying beautiful objects. The walls were often lined with cabinets (with doors closed, not open as here) above which hung portraits of inspiring figures from the past, sometimes accompanied by an instructive saying reminding one of higher truths. Objects were studied as much as books. The cabinets contained small items that were especially treasured or useful to have at hand for examination and comparison. The legacy of Renaissance humanism is evident in the importance of objects and themes associated with antiquity and also in the emphasis on acquiring knowledge through study. Books may have been kept in some of the closed cabinets, but others were probably in a separate library. Two aspects of these objects are celebrated: the artist's god-line native "genius" (or its less exalted form, ingenuity) that generates the idea and also the "art" that it took to complete it. The traditional concept of art meant special knowledge reflecting high achievement with a focus on technique involving mental agility, and not so much beauty for its own sake. It was in the quiet of his study that the collector experienced this achievement. It is rarely known exactly how collections were organized. Some, like this one, were organized primarily by materials, based on the approach taken by the Roman author Pliny the Elder (AD 23-79) in his commentaries on human achievements in the visual arts, still an influential model in the 1600s.

3. WALTEO_110109_0789.JPG: Invocation of the "Titanic": This statuette is a memorial to the White Star liner Titanic that sank on April 14, 1912, with the loss of over 1,500 lives.
4. WALTEO_110109_0916.JPG: Gatchina Palace Egg: Russian (St. Petersburg), 1901 Tsar Nicholas II presented this egg to his mother, the dowager empress Marie Fedorovna, on Easter 1901. The egg opens to review as a surprise a miniature gold replica of the palace at Gatchina, a village 30 miles southwest of St. Petersburg. Built for Count Grigorii Orlov, the palace was acquired by Tsar Paul I and served as the winter residence for Alexander III and Marie Fedorovna.
5. WALTEO_110109_0937.JPG: Rose Trellis Egg Russian (St. Petersburg), 1907 On April 22, 1907, Tsar Nicholas II presented this egg to his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna, to commemorate the birth of the tsarevich, Alexei Nicholaievich, three years earlier. Because of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, no Imperial Easter eggs had been produced for two years. The egg contained as a surprise a diamond necklace and an ivory miniature portrait of the tsarevich framed in diamonds (now lost).

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.
