Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. FORDSM_150419_006.JPG: Touch a Piece of History: A small pistol was hidden in John Wilkes Booth's pocket as he approached the theatre box where the president was seated. His weapon of choice was a compact, silver-inlaid deringer pistol weighing barely eight ounces. Unlike military revolvers that could fire up to six times before reloading, the deringer could handle only one bullet at a time. When Booth pulled the trigger, the deringer fired a single round ball. As the black powder exploded and the dull grey bullet left the gun, the air filled with blue-grey smoke and burning gunpowder. The discharged lead ball weighed nearly an ounce, proving to be a deadly shot.
2. FORDSM_150419_072.JPG: Surratt Boarding House: This three-story, white brick building is Mary Surratt's boarding house at 541 H Street NW (now 604), as it appeared circa 1890. It was here that the conspirators may have met to plot the kidnapping and assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Andrew Johnson dubbed the house "the nest that hatched the rotten egg."

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.

2015 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
