Description of Pictures: Exhibit: Designing and Redesigning the MLK Library
This new public program series celebrates the 100th anniversary of the German Bauhaus School (1919-1933) and the modernization of D.C.'s own landmark, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, designed by the last director of the Bauhaus, Mies van der Rohe. Visit the free exhibit at The Goethe-Institut Washington, 1990 K St. NW, Suite 3 (entrance on 20th St. NW, lower level), Monday-Thursday (10 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.) and Friday (10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.) through October 18.

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.

2019 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: a four-day jaunt to Massachusetts (Boston, Stockbridge, and Springfield) to experience rain in another state, Asheville, NC to visit Dad and his wife Dixie, four trips to New York City (including the United Nations, Flushing, and the New York Comic-Con), and my 14th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con (including sites in Utah). Number of photos taken this year: about 582,000.
