1. USI_120515_06.JPG: This work was being done to deal with earthquake-related damage. From http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Union-Station-Restoration-135132198.html Earthquake Repairs at Union Station August earthquake damaged ceiling By Jennifer Doren December 6, 2011 You may notice a lot of people tilting their heads back while passing through Union Station in northeast Washington. Construction is under way to repair extensive damage caused by August's 5.8-magnitude earthquake. It caused chunks of plaster to crumble and break free from the historic Main Hall and Concourse area ceilings. The west part of the building appears to have sustained the worst damage. That area will be fixed first. Artisans will soon be hanging almost 95 feet in the air on a movable deck to patch up the damage. "It's engineered in a way to allow for the maximum use of the floor space below," Union Station General Manager Mark Polhemus said. "It's a very challenging job," added Mark Tsirigos. The vice president of Universal Builders Supply elaborated on why. "It's a very challenging job because we're trying to maintain the daily commuters, the shops [and] we have to work after hours [and] we have a very small window to do a lot of things." It'll take between eight and 10 months to return the iconic structure to its previous grandeur. Polhmeus stressed, despite the restoration work, it is business as usual at the station. "We're alive, open and well," he said. "Just take a little additional time if you need to if you want to come here to take a train out or other type of public transportation as there may be a few delays depending on how easily you can move through the station."

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.
