INDCAN_120811_005.JPG: American Mastodont
The mastodont was common in Indiana and the surrounding region near the end of the Ice Age, some 12,000 years ago. These bronze sculptures depict two young bulls, alert to an unknown threat, that have been separated from the herd. To see more of the largest collection of Ice Age bones in Indiana, visit the galleries of the Indiana State Museum. The museum is committed to excavating and interpreting Indiana's past through exhibits and interpretive programs.
INDCAN_120811_020.JPG: Steam In Indianapolis:
Commercial steam heat came to Indianapolis when Marmon-Perry Light Co. delivered steam to the Grand Opera House in downtown Indianapolis in 1888. Formed in 1892 to consolidate several small private power operations, by 1931 the Indianapolis Power and Light Co. was the city's only provider of commercial steam heat. With 24 miles of piping, Indianapolis's steam district is now second in sales only to New York City.
INDCAN_120811_022.JPG: The Indiana Steam Clock:
The Indian Steam Clock was designed by the Indiana State Museum by horologist Raymond L. Saunders and was inspired by his world famous Gastown Steam Clock in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. This steam clock is made of stainless steel, with brass trim, is 17 feet high, and weighs 1.5 tons. High-pressure steam, that heats the Museum, is reduced to 20 PSI for the 8 brass whistles. The steam whistles play "Back Home Again (in Indiana)" on the quarter hour. The four clock dials are operated by the weight driven mechanism which has a "pinwheel" escapement and is wound by an electric motor and loop chain system. A model of the earth, rotating at 3 rpm, is illuminated by a miniature "sun" lamp.
INDCAN_120811_027.JPG: "Back Home Again (in Indiana)"
Indiana's "unofficial" state song, "Back Home Again (in Indiana)" has been a public favorite since its debut in 1917. This work of Rensselear, Indiana, native Ballard MacDonald and James Hanley is the most widely played song ever written about the Hoosier state.

Quetzalcoatl Returns to Look in the Mirror, 2011
In Duarte's mural, Mesoamerican deity Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent, returns to earth to look at himself in a mirror. Quetzalcoatl has been described as the creator-god, the god of the arts, civilization and knowledge. For Duarte, this is a moment of self-reflection, and a moment to reflect on history and the course of civilization.

INDCAN_120811_150.JPG: Site of the Central Canal:
Authorized by Indiana's 1836 Internal Improvement Act, Central Canal conceived as link in transportation system connecting Wabash and Erie Canal with Ohio River. State's bankruptcy in 1839 prevented completion of Central Canal. Canal has since provided hydraulic power, fresh water and recreation.

INDCAN_120811_253.JPG: "Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror: the pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger."

INDCAN_120811_256.JPG: One
by Cheryl Sawyer
As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building
We became one class.
As we lit candles of waiting and hope
We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno
We became one gender.
As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.
As we mourned together the great loss
We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss
We became one soul.
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes
We become one people.
We are
One color
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people
We are The Power of One.
We are United.
We are America.

INDCAN_120811_366.JPG: Civil War Training Camp:
First State Fairgrounds to Camp Sullivan:
Military Park began its existence in the 1820s as a "Military Reservation" where the state militia occasionally trained. In 1852, the first Indiana State Fair was held on the grounds, and other state fairs occurred there over the next eight years. In 1861, the fairgrounds became a military camp, as the 13th Indiana Regiment of Col. Jeremiah Sullivan of Madison and others trained there. As Camp Sullivan, the grounds continued to be used as a military camp for the rest of the war.

INDCAN_120811_440.JPG: Ascending
by Robert Pulley
"Ascending", "Serpent", and "Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis" are the latest in a large body of work combining references to geology, organic growth and the human figure in abstract, expressionistic sculptures inspired by nature. Their segmentation, the striation of coil building and the picked textures create a sense of age and loss that contrasts to their strength and energy.

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.
