Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. VMFAUS_140817_04.JPG: Joseph Pennell Dinner Time, Gatun Lock, 1912 Completed in the summer of 1914, the Panama Canal was heralded as a wonder of modern engineering. The American printmaker Joseph Pennell visited the site during the later stages of its construction. Fascinated by the cavernous concrete locks and the massive earth-moving machines that dwarfed their human operators, he depicted the rapid ascent of laborers clinging to a crane that delivered them to the surface. The quick, expressive strokes of the artist's hand echo the frenzied speed of both workers and machines at the construction site.
2. VMFAUS_140817_11.JPG: James Earle Fraser Theodore Roosevelt, 1920
3. VMFAUS_140817_15.JPG: They moved this piece and reprinted the sign which describes it. The piece itself is clearly marked 19@20. The sign says the piece was done in 1902. Every time I see the sign, I complain about it and they fix it for awhile.

5. VMFAUS_140817_35.JPG: George Bellows Shipyard Security, 1916

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

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.
