Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIAHAC_160806_03.JPG: Mad Men props 1950s-1960s and 2007-2015 These props from the television program Mad Men (2007-2015) demonstrate the show's exploration of American culture in the 1960s through advertising executive Don Draper's work and home lives. The high design and fashionable aesthetic of the series drew on viewers' sense of nostalgia, but also examined issues such as workplace sexism, alcoholism, and the civil rights movement, revealing a complex and changing moment in American history.
2. SIAHAC_160806_36.JPG: Brian Setzer guitar 2006 To replace the 1959 Gretsh Stray Cat guitar he wore out, rockabilly guitarist Brian Setzer worked with a master guitar builder to make this one. With Monopoly game dice for tone knobs and duplicate decals, the guitar nearly matched the original. Like this reborn guitar, Setzer revived rockabilly and big band sounds for modern audiences.

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.

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.
