Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIAHPC_160311_09.JPG: Photograph of Stained Glass Window Designed by Nicola D'Ascenzo This window pictured here is more than thirteen feet tall and is undergoing conservation so that it can be placed here in 2018. The original 1915 window is from RCA's business campus in Camden, New Jersey. The logo with Nipper the dog listening to his deceased master's voice on a gramaphone represents the experience of listening to recorded sound.
2. SIAHPC_160311_11.JPG: American Culture Opening in summer 2018, as the final stage of our West Wing transformation, the American Culture wing will offer visitors with a fresh way to see American Culture. Arts, sports, and entertainments provide Americans with a way to celebrate creativity, affirm our national identity, and wrestle with major transformation in American society. This new wing of the Museum will feature the major exhibition On With The Show! and a changing gallery that will debut with a music exhibition. The beautiful acoustics of the Hall of Music embrace performances by the Smithsonian's Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and Chamber Music Society. The American Culture Wing will make America's past and present culture come to life.

4. SIAHPC_160311_23.JPG: On With The Show! America has a diverse, democratic, and innovative society that creates a dynamic and vibrant culture. On With The Show! is an exciting, immersive exhibition exploring how Americans participate in the nation's culture to share experiences, craft identity, and shape history. Beginning in the colonial era and landing in the present, we can see how ordinary lives help shape our national identity through mass entertainments. Iconic and significant artifacts, placed in contextualized experiences, will help us to understand how the past shapes today's lives.

2016 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
