Description of Pictures: Prince's "Yellow Cloud" Electric Guitar
April 26, 2016 – September 5, 2016
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History recognizes the life and legacy of Prince Rogers Nelson (1958 – 2016) by displaying his “Yellow Cloud” electric guitar. The guitar was made in 1989 and used during Prince’s Diamonds and Pearls era.
“Prince was a multi-talented artist who achieved popular success while pursuing eclectic and innovative musical visions,” said Eric Jentsch, deputy chair in the division of culture and the arts. “One of the best-selling musicians of all time, he is also remembered for his energetic performances, film work, and songwriting.”
Custom-made by the Minneapolis, Minn., firm Knut-Koupee Enterprises, the guitar was designed by Prince; his distinctive personal symbol adorns both the top and the side of the fingerboard.

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.
