SIPGBU_120225_024.JPG: The Daguerre Monument:
The French artist Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (1787-1851) became interested in the 1820s in trying to capture images photographically. In August 1839, his "Daguerreotype" technique -- fixing an image on a light-sensitive, polished silver plate -- was announced to the public. This was the first photographic process to be used widely in Europe and the United States.
In 1890, the Professional Photographers of America donated this monument to Daguerre, by the American sculptor Jonathan Scott Hartley, to the American people. The bronze figure was cast by the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company of New York. Placed in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum Building (now known as the Arts and Industries Building) to celebrate the first half-century of photography, the monument was displayed on the Mall from 1897 to 1969.
The rededication of the Daguerre Monument in 1989 was sponsored by the Professional Photographers of America in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of photography's start. (?)

SIPGBU_120404_47.JPG: Modern Head
conceived 1974, fabricated 1989-1990 by Lippincott, Inc.,
Roy Lichtenstein.
Roy Lichtenstein began creating his Modern Head series in the late 1960s with the idea that man can be made to look like a machine and the image manufactured by an industrial source. This concept pervaded the artist's work throughout his career. In Modern Head he referenced the flat planes, precision, and abstract geometric forms associated with the 1930s art deco architecture and design.
Modern Head was installed in 1996 in Battery Park City, only block from the World Trade Center, by the Public Art Fund of New York City. The sculpture survived the destruction of 9/11 with only surface scratched and became a memo board for the FBI during its ensuing investigations. ... The sculpture was removed on November 9, 2001, for its protection.

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.
