Description of Pictures: DATE LAB: Night at the Museum
by The Washington Post
Join us as The Washington Post Magazine’s popular Date Lab column comes to life this Valentine’s Day at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Get a behind the scenes look at how Date Lab writers make matches and coordinate dates plus what makes a date go well or… horribly wrong. Plus, there will be a live Dating Game show – you’ll help pair up two upcoming Date Lab dates as they vet dates live on stage.
The event is free with registration. Arrive at 6:00 p.m. to participate in a fun and social scavenger hunt around the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Luce Foundation Center.
The on-stage Date Lab panel discussion was (left to right):
* Lisa Bonos, Post staff writer;
* Rich Juzwiak, writer for Jezebel and Slate;
* Steve Kolowich, Post Style editor;
* Vijai Nathan, stand-up comedian and senior storytelling trainer at Story District;
* Marin Cogan, senior producer and co-host Pop-Up Magazine;
* Jessica Goldstein, freelance writer for the Post magazine

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.
2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11.
The child president's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here.The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year!
Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
The farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995.
Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
