Description of Pictures: Exhibit: "Utopia: Revisiting a German State in America" at the German-American Heritage Museum of the USA
Sep 6, 2014 - Oct 25, 2014 | Washington, DC
Five-hundred people left their homeland together, in order to live together in their Utopia. They came from all over Germany, all led by one ideal. The Giessen Emigration Society crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1834 to create a model Democratic German State in the USA – that later became a State of Germans in Missouri.
The exhibition UTOPIA studies their myriad of stories through art and action. Political and social dimensions are explored and provide inspiration for everyone today. The exhibition moves as the Utopians once did, from Giessen and Bremen in Germany, to Washington, DC (German American Heritage Museum, opening on September 6), and St. Louis (Missouri History Museum, opening on November 22) – and from there onwards. Whoever "checks in" may join as well – in thoughts, by train, truck or ship.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. UTOPIA_141014_017.JPG: Utopia Revisiting a German State in America A Traveling Exhibition
2. UTOPIA_141014_028.JPG: Utopia -- Revisiting a German State in America A Traveling Exhibition Welcome! You already have a part of the way behind you: from your front door to here, to "Utopia." You have left behind familiar things to discover new ones. And those who are the subject of this exhibition did exactly that 180 years ago. However not just for a day trip -- but forever. In 1834, 500 people from all over Germany left their homeland together. In families, on their own, or with friends, they followed the call of lawyer Paul Follenius and Pastor Friedrich Muench. Together as the "Giessen Emigration Society" they cross the Atlantic and settle in America to erect a democratic "model German democracy." Since 2005, the Traveling Summer Republic -- an [sic] group of artists, creators, and scholars -- has been exploring the internal and external adventure of these utopians. Where did this bold political vision come from, and where did it lead? What does it mean for us, here and now? What happened on the way? Enter, and join the voyage.

2014 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Winchester, VA, Nashville, TN, and Atlanta, GA), Michigan to visit mom in the hospice before she died and then a return trip after she died, and my 9th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, Sacramento, Oakland, and Los Angeles). Ego strokes: Paul Dickson used one of my photos as the author photo in his book "Aphorisms: Words Wrought by Writers". Number of photos taken this year: just over 470,000.
