Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. JFKCOV_130407_23.JPG: John F. Kennedy looked good on television. In the first nationally televised U.S. presidential debate in 1960, Kennedy's movie-star looks and easy charm showed that image could be as important as message. Five days after he took office, Kennedy scored another presidential first by holding a live, televised press conference. He was the first president to understand the powerful role that television played in connecting with an audience. Kennedy and his family captivated the press. Coverage of the dashing president, his fashionable wife and their young children boasted TV ratings as well as newspaper and magazine sales. News media coverage helped shape the story of the Kennedy presidency as a magical moment in American history, but a darker narrative emerged as the convulsions of the Cold War and the civil rights movement shook the country. When Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, television elevated him to a place of legend.
2. JFKCOV_130417_03.JPG: First Lady's Suit: This is a designer replica of a silk suit and pillbox hat Jacqueline Kennedy wore during a 1961 state visit to France, seen on the Paris Match cover above. Oleg Cassini, the first lady's official designer, created the ensemble, which he considered a classic example of her look. Cassini's studio produced the suit displayed here. The necklace is a copy of the triple-strand faux pearls that the first lady often wore.

2013 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000 and Nikon D600. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Memphis, TN, Jackson, MS [to which I added a week to to visit sites in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee], and Richmond, VA), and my 8th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Nevada and California). Ego Strokes: Aviva Kempner used my photo of her as her author photo in Larry Ruttman's "American Jews & America's Game: Voices of a Growing Legacy in Baseball" book. Number of photos taken this year: just over 570,000.
