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.)

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. WPARK_110528_006.JPG: The first academy in Newark was erected near this spot in 1774 by the gifts of generous citizens. Dedicated to learning, it found, in time of war, a new mission in the cause of liberty, giving useful service as a barracks and hospital for American troops. On the night of January 25, 1780, it was burned to the ground by a raiding party of British, who crossed from New York on the ice and surprised the town. This school was the forerunner of the present Newark Academy which erected its first building in 1792 at the corner of Broad and Academy Streets . Placed by the Trustees, teachers, graduates and students of Newark Academy, June 1916 Replaced by the Commissioners of the City of Newark, May 1941

8. WPARK_110528_199.JPG: THE ROCK OF AGES. Isaiah xxvi 4. A NATIONAL SONG OF PRAISE. Let us to Jehovah raise Glad and grateful songs of praise. Let the people with one voice In the Lord their God rejoice! For His mercy standeth fast And from age to age doth last. He across untraversed seas Guided first the Genoese, Here prepared a dwelling place For a freedom loving race ; For His mercy standeth fast And from age to age doth last. Filled the land the red man trod With the worshipers of God ; When oppression forged the chain Nerved their hands to rend in twain. For His mercy standeth fast And from age to age dost last. Gave them courage to declare What to do and what to dare; Made them victors over wrong In the battle with the strong. For His mercy standeth fast And from age to age doth last. 'Midst the terror of the fight, Kept them steadfast in the right; Taught their statesmen how to plan To conserve the Rights of man. For His mercy standeth fast And from age to age doth last. Needful skill and wisdom lent To establish Government. Laid foundations resting still On the granite of His will. For His mercy standeth fast And from age to age doth last. Wiped the scandal and the sin From the color of the skin ; Now o'er all, from sea to sea Floats the Banner of the Free. For His mercy standeth fast And from age to age doth last. Praise the Lord for freedom won, adn the gospel of his sons. Praise the lord, his name adore, all ye people, evermore. For his merge steadeth fast and from age to age, doth last. Abraham Coles, July 4, 1876

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.
