Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
MLKPRM_120714_02.JPG: "The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate for for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?"
MLKPRM_120714_04.JPG: "Along the way of life, someone must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate. This can only be done by projecting the ethic of love to the center of our lives."
MLKPRM_120714_07.JPG: "Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear; only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it."
MLKPRM_120714_10.JPG: "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend."
Description of Subject Matter: Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade is a linear park that stretches from Market Street to PETCO Park and connects Children's Museum Park, Children's Park, and Gaslamp Square. The tree-lined promenade features a hedge maze at beginning of the promenade on Market Street, leading to an abstract sculpture in the center, entitled Shedding the Cloak, by Jerry Dumalo, Mary Lynn Dominguez, and Tama Dumalo, as well as a fountain and water feature. Another sculpture, Dreams, is planned for the maze. The Promenade also includes other public art that pays tribute to Dr. King's memory and his dream, including a Dream, by Roberto Salas, which depicts five hands comprised of bronze and steel, plaques with Dr. King's words embedded in the ground, and the Breaking the Chains sculpture, by Melvin Edwards. The promenade is a favorite for pedestrians, joggers, and bicyclists, and is the site of annual multi-cultural festival held on Martin Luther King Day, which features, music, food, exhibits, vendors, and entertainment.

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired.
Trips this year:
three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA),
a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean,
another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and
my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc).
Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else..
Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
