Signage: You'll see a lot of signs in this group. Eventually, I'll type the text of the signs into the subject description and get rid of the signs themselves. This is pretty slow and tedious work though.
Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. COURTS_130303_001.JPG: Court Square: Of the four original municipal parks laid out by city planners in 1819, Court Square is the only one left in its original form. Ironically, no courthouse was ever built on Court Square... it was on Exchange Square.
2. COURTS_130303_108.JPG: James H. Malone Oct 31, 1851 - June 29, 1929 The 35th mayor of Memphis, 1906-1910, author of "The Chickasaw Nation". He shared a legal office on the 11th floor of the Exchange Building, overlooking Court Square, with his younger brother Walter Malone, judge of the Second Circuit Court of Shelby County. Walter was a writer and author of the famous poem "Opportunity". Mayor Malone said, "My great regret in leaving this office is the pleasure I have had in watching the pigeons and squirrels in this square. I am glad I have made it possible for them to be fed daily." This memorial was placed by Alba R. Malone 1991
3. COURTS_130303_148.JPG: In memory of Walter Malone Erected MCMXIX OPPORTUNITY They do me wrong who say I come no more When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win. Wail not for precious chances passed away! Weep not for golden ages on the wane! Each night I burn the records of the day-- At sunrise every soul is born again! Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous Retribution's blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past And find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven; Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell, Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past with its dead, But never bind a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, wring not your hands and weep; I lend my arm to all who say "I can!" No shame-faced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man! Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous retributions blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past, and find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Route thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven: Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell, each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven.

2013 photos: So far, I'm mostly using my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I'm also using a Nikon D7000 and Nikon D600. Trips this year have been limited to a Civil War Trust conference in Memphis.
