Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIHIRO_170629_03.JPG: The vendor Dolcezza Coffee & Gelato trailer had been installed at the time of the Infinity Mirrors exhibit, possibly to provide coffee to folks waiting in line for the tickets to the exhibit. In 2018, they would be located inside the museum, replacing the old information desk.
2. SIHIRO_171123_037.JPG: Last Conversation Piece 1994-95 Juan Munoz
3. SIHIRO_171123_068.JPG: Welcome to the Hirshhorn Museum's Plaza: First opened in 1974, the Hirshhorn's plaza displays recent sculptures by international artists. More than 400,000 people visit the sculpture garden and plaza each year. So while we invite you to look, relax, study, stroll, sketch, and take photographs, we ask that you please do not touch the sculptures. Sculptures are more fragile than most people realize. Steel and other metal works are made from several pieces welded together. These connections can weaken and break when weigh is applied. Bronze sculptures are actually hollow casts with thin surfaces that are easily dented or scratched. In addition, all outdoor sculptures suffer from urban air pollution, so we protect them with a delicate coating of clear wax. But this invisible protectant erodes when touched, even lightly, leaving that part of the piece exposed to the elements. Also, fingernails and jewelry may cause tiny scratches that can never be fixed. For these reasons, climbing, sitting on, or leaning against any sculpture is not permitted. Please help preserve these remarkable artworks for future generations.

Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: (April) a 48-hour jaunt for a Civil War Trust conference in Pensacola, FL, (June) an 11-day trip built around the Civil War Trust annual conference in Chattanooga, TN including sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, (July) the annual San Diego Comic Con trip with a sidetrip to sites in Arizona, (August) a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin including sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin, (October) the Civil War Trust Grand Review in Fredericksburg, VA, and (December) a two-day jaunt to New York City. For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about: "Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo), "The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy), "The American Spirit" (David McCullough), "Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert), "The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and "The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover). Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
