Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SPY3S_190507_007.JPG: Mystery Predicting the Unpredictable What is a foreign leader planning? Will a terrorist group strike again? When facts alone can't answer a question, you're faced with a mystery -- something yet to be explained. Resolving intelligence mysteries is more art than science. Analysts must rely on their expertise, instincts, and judgment. In October 1962, Soviet and American leaders faced a mystery with world-shaking consequences. Would President John F. Kennedy or Premier Nikita Khrushchev risk nuclear war? Analysts provided their best insights. The world held its breath.

35. SPY3S_190520_031.JPG: Created shortly after the missile crisis, this board game is a repackaging of the Liar's Dice game. It involves luck, deception, and getting into the mind of your opponent.
36. SPY3S_190520_044.JPG: Soviet advisors serving in Cuba at the time of the missile crisis were awarded medals like this. The inscription on the back reads: "Participant in the Defense of the Cuban Revolution 1962."
37. SPY3S_190520_051.JPG: Oleg Penkovsky: The Spy Who Saved the World? He was "the single most valuable agent in CIA history," declared a 1976 Agency paper. Oleg Penkovsky, a disillusioned Soviet military intel officer, volunteered to spy for the US and UK in the 1960s, passing military secrets that shed light on Soviet intentions and weapons capabilities. These proved critical during the Cuban Missile Crisis, telling the CIA if the Soviet missiles were operational and key technical capabilities. Those details may have given Kennedy the edge in avoiding a nuclear confrontation.
38. SPY3S_190520_057.JPG: Penkovsky copied hundreds of classified military documents using a commercially available Minox Model IIIs camera similar to this one.
39. SPY3S_190520_070.JPG: Join the Red Team This was an interesting interactive exhibit. This is a model of the fortress that Bin Laden was killed in. The display shows the various intelligence we had about the fortress and what possible reasons there were for each feature -- like the enclosed driveway, the guy walking in the courtyard, etc. It points out that in the final assault, experts gave only a 50-50 chance that it was in fact Bin Laden's lair.

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.
