Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIPGPO_170513_01.JPG: Michael DeBakey, 1908-2008 Born Lake Charles, Louisiana An innovative leader in the treatment of heart disease, surgeon Michael DeBakey helped inaugurate a new era in cardiovascular surgery. The pump he designed for use in blood transfusions proved critical to the development of heart-lung machines that made open-heart surgery possible. DeBakey also pioneered the use of Dacron fabric for vascular grafts and tubing. In the 1960s he led efforts to develop a mechanical pump -- known as a ventricular assist device -- to support patients with failing heart function. Among the first to perform coronary bypasses, DeBakey made history in 1968 when he and his team transplanted four organs from a single donor to four different recipients. Peter Shapiro, 1998 cast of 1997 original
2. SIPGPO_170513_24.JPG: Ann Landers, 1918-2002 Born Sioux City, Iowa Esther Pauline Friedman became the incredibly popular columnist Ann Landers in 1955, when she won a contest to write the syndicated newspaper feature "Ask Ann Landers." Throughout her five-decade career she changed the tone of advice columns from treacly to direct and candid. Her sympathetic guidance reached more than 90 million readers through more than 1,200 newspapers. She counseled people on everything from wedding etiquette and the correct height of toilet paper to more serious topics, including cancer and AIDS. Throughout much of her life she was in direct competition with her twin sister, who wrote her own column, "Dear Abby." The California artist Roger Robles painted Landers's portrait twice, in 1977 and 1988. Landers preferred this later portrait since it made her look "less starchy." She displayed the painting in her apartment until her death. Robin Robles, 1988
3. SIPGPO_170513_35.JPG: George Takei, born 1937 Born Los Angeles, California In 1966 actor George Takei became the first Asian American to play a major, nonstereotyped character on an American television series when Gene Roddenberry cast him as astrophysicist-turned-helmsman Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek. Takei rode to fame along with the crew of the Starship Enterprise in the short-lived but immensely popular television series, appearing in fifty-one of seventy-nine episodes that aired during Star Trek's three seasons on NBC (1966–69). He later reprised the Sulu role in six Star Trek feature films released between 1979 and 1991.Takei spent his early childhood in Japanese American internment camps in Arkansas and California, where his family was imprisoned during World War II. That experience inspired Allegiance, the musical that Takei brought to Broadway in 2015. Long active in politics and civic affairs, he "came out" in 2005 and remains a vocal advocate for LGBTQ and social justice issues. Unidentified artist, 1966
4. SIPGPO_170513_38.JPG: Grace Murray Hopper, 1906-1992 Born New York City Grace Murray Hopper is one of the most important figures both in the creation of modern computer science and in the history of the U.S. Navy. A Phi Beta Kappa student at Vassar, she earned her Ph.D. at Yale (1934). Entering the Navy in World War II, she helped create the operation protocols for the first American computer. After the war, Hopper taught at Harvard and worked in the defense industry while also serving in the Navy Reserve. She led the team that helped compile the first computer language (1952), as well as later evolutions that led to COBOL and FORTRAN, building blocks of computer programming. In 1966 she retired, but her work was so valuable that she was almost immediately recalled, serving for nineteen more years and rising to the rank of admiral. In addition to her academic prowess, Hopper was an inspirational figure, known as "Amazing Grace" in both the armed forces and the scientific community. Lynn Gilbert, 1978 (printed 2014)
5. SIPGPO_170513_41.JPG: Buddy Holly, 1936-1959 Born Lubbock, Texas Killed in a plane crash just as he attained stardom, Charles Hardin "Buddy" Holly is one of the most influential and mythic figures in American music. Raised in a musical family and steeped in a crossroads of musical genres that included gospel, country, and rhythm and blues, Holly formed his own band out of high school. Soon he was opening for Elvis Presley in Lubbock, Texas (1955). By 1957, Holly had a new record contract and a new band, and his career took off nationally and internationally; his first hit was "That'll Be the Day." Tragically, Holly and performers Richie Valens and J. P. Richardson ("The Big Bopper") were killed in a plane crash in Iowa in January 1959. Memorialized later as "The Day the Music Died," the myth of Buddy Holly has overshadowed his influence as a performer and guitarist in the history of rock and roll. Lew Allen, 1958 (printed later)
6. SIPGPO_170513_48.JPG: Gloria Steinem, born 1934 Dorothy Pitman Hughes, born 1938 Born Lumpkin, Georgia Writer and political activist Gloria Steinem emerged as a powerful voice for women's rights at a time when many Americans viewed feminism solely as a white, middle-class movement. In provocative articles such as "After Black Power, Women's Liberation" (1969), Steinem argued that inclusiveness across racial and economic boundaries was fundamental to the campaign for gender equality. To underscore the point that all women, regardless of race or class, had a stake in this struggle, Steinem joined forces with activist Dorothy Pitman Hughes, a leading child-care advocate. In 1970 they embarked on a series of high-profile national speaking tours to galvanize grassroots support for women's issues. In this formal studio portrait published in Esquire magazine in October 1971, Steinem and Hughes signal their solidarity with the raised-fist salute first popularized by members of the Black Power movement. Dan Wynn, 1971
7. SIPGPO_170513_50.JPG: Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention A figure of the American counterculture, composer and guitarist Frank Zappa (1940–1993) believed that "Anything, Any Time, Anywhere for No Reason at All" -- music, texts, interviews, films, statements, etc.––should be considered part of his aesthetic. This maximalist credo revealed as much about the eclectic sources that nourished his compositions as about his prolific and varied output. Born in Maryland and raised partly in California, Zappa became interested during his teenage years in the avant-garde classical music of Edgard Var�se, as well as in doo-wop, blues, and R&B. After graduating from high school he formed the band that would become the Mothers of Invention. In 1966 they released the seminal Freak Out! in which Zappa's acerbic humor, socially critical lyrics, and complex orchestral arrangements were already evident. The band performed together with different lineups until 1975. With them and on his own, Zappa recorded close to eighty albums of compositions ranging from jazz and electronica to concrete music and rock and roll. George Rodriguez, c 1966
8. SIPGPO_170513_59.JPG: Chien-Shiung Wu, 1912-1997 Born Liuh, China Chien-Shiung Wu emigrated from China in 1936 after her college adviser encouraged her to pursue a doctorate in the United States; she received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1940. After several academic appointments -- on the East Coast, as anti-Asian prejudice in California hindered her personal and professional life -- she joined the Manhattan Project in 1944 to work on uranium enrichment for the atomic bomb. Wu did her major theoretical work after World War II at Columbia University on the behavior of subatomic particles. Two of her male colleagues who were working on this project received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957; it has been posited that Wu was not included in the prize because of gender bias. Wu did win most of the other major prizes for her work, and although she disliked being called "The First Lady of Physics," she was a trailblazer for women in the sciences. Lynn Gilbert, 1978 (printed 2014)
9. SIPGPO_170513_64.JPG: The Everly Brothers Don Everly, born 1937 Phil Everly, 1939-2014 Born Chicago, Illinois Essential figures in the history of rock and roll, the Everly Brothers fused their country music roots (they grew up in Iowa and Tennessee) with mellow harmonies to become both popular and influential performers; their vocal stylings influenced groups from the Beatles to the Beach Boys. Their first big hit, on both the country and R&B charts, was "Bye Bye Love" (1957), and they followed up with a series of bestselling singles including "Wake Up Little Susie" (1958) and "All I Have to Do Is Dream" (1970). They toured with Buddy Holly in 1957 and 1958. A dispute with their record company sidelined their recording careers just as English bands and a harder-edged rock-and-roll sound took over the market. The brothers continued to perform and record, however, both as a duo and individually, and they were among the first ten inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Lew Allen, 1958 (printed later)
10. SIPGPO_170513_71.JPG: Chita Rivera, born 1933 Born Washington, D.C. An enduring Broadway diva, dancer, singer, and actress, Chita Rivera has been dazzling audiences since she set foot on the stage as principal dancer in Call Me Madam (1951), a role she accidentally snatched from a friend while accompanying her to an audition. She danced in Guys and Dolls in 1953 and starred in Can-Can before soaring to fame as Anita in the 1957 Broadway premiere of West Side Story. Rivera originated the roles of Rosie in Bye Bye Birdie (1960), Velma in Chicago (1975), Anna in The Rink (1984), and Aurora in Kiss of the Spider Woman (1993). The latter two roles brought her Tony Awards. In 2015 she starred in the Tony-nominated musical The Visit In 2002, Rivera became the first Latina to receive a Kennedy Center Honors award; she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009. ADAL, 1983 (from the 2014 portfolio Los Portraits)
11. SIPGPO_170516_01.JPG: Charles Frohman, 1860-1915 Born Sandusky, Ohio Charles Frohman moved to New York City as a teenager. With the help of his brothers, who were involved in the theater world, he began to serve as an advance agent for touring companies. His first success as an independent producer was the Civil War melodrama Shenandoah, which ran for 250 performances in 1889. Three years later, his construction of the Empire Theatre on Fortieth Street and Broadway prompted the move of New York's theater district from Fourteenth Street to its present location. Frohman was instrumental in launching theater as an entertainment industry through his co-founding of the controversial Theatrical Syndicate, a monopoly that assigned actors to roles in Broadway shows that toured in select venues. By the time of his death, Frohman had produced more than 600 plays. This portrait by Jos� Mar�a Mora, a major nineteenth-century stage photographer, is one of a few surviving photographs of Frohman, who, despite his public job, led a very private life. Jose Maria Mora, c 1885
12. SIPGPO_170516_08.JPG: Minnie Maddern Fiske, 1865-1932 Born New Orleans, Louisiana A leading actress at the turn of the twentieth century, Minnie Maddern Fiske was the only child of actor parents with their own theater company. She debuted on stage at age three as the Duke of York in Richard III and rose to prominence in 1882 when she toured in Fogg's Ferry by Charles E. Callahan. A proponent of realism in acting, Fiske focused on the internal processes of characters, favoring subtlety over monologues and asides. She championed the work of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, starring in works such as A Doll's House. With her second husband, Harrison Grey Fiske, owner of the New York Dramatic Mirror, she spoke vehemently against the Theatrical Syndicate. It employed tactics from the burgeoning industrial trusts to exert a tight monopoly over theater productions and venues around the country. Jos� Mar�a Mora was one of the foremost stage and society photographers of his time, and a member of New York City's nineteenth-century Cuban elite. Jose Maria Mora, c 1880
13. SIPGPO_170516_15.JPG: Ethan Allen, c 1737-1789 Russell's American Almanack for the Year of our Redemption, 1790 This small portrait -- the only known image of Ethan Allen made during his lifetime -- scarcely hints at the larger-than-life persona that made him a force to be reckoned with. Outraged by a court decision that would have stripped frontiersmen of land they were settling in the Green Mountains (now in Vermont), Allen spearheaded a campaign of resistance and intimidation. Emboldened by his successful attack on Fort Ticonderoga in May 1775, he made an impulsive attempt to seize Montreal four months later and was captured by the British. Upon his release, Allen published a scathing account of his two-and-a-half years of imprisonment, an excerpt of which appears in this issue of Russell's American Almanack. Turning his attention to politics, Allen unsuccessfully lobbied Congress in 1778 for Vermont's recognition as an independent state. Always controversial, he devoted his last years to writing radical theological treatises. Unidentified artist, c 1779

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: Civil War Trust conferences in Pensacola, FL, Chattanooga, TN (via sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Fredericksburg, VA, a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin (via sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin), New York City, and my 12th consecutive San Diego Comic Con trip (including sites in Arizona). 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.
