Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIPGPA_200918_001.JPG: The American Landscape is one of the most enduring and evocative subjects in American art. The paintings on view in this alcove showcase how five American artists depicted the nation's distinctive geographic features over the span of a century. These works reveal that the "American landscape" is more than a physical setting. It is a powerful cultural symbol, constructed and manipulated by humans. There are no people in these paintings and yet their presence is central to the story of each place. These paintings tell the complicated history of how Americans have engaged with the land in pursuit of power and profit as well as veneration and preservation. They also reveal the varied ways that artists have approached the land -- as emissaries, explorers, admirers, and advocates. Taken together, these works illustrate our evolving attitudes toward environmental stewardship and prompt reflection on our individual interactions with the natural world.
2. SIPGPA_200918_007.JPG: Manifest Destiny, 2004 Alexis Rockman Contemporary artist Alexis Rockman posits a terrifying answer in this post-apocalyptic scene of New York City. The painting shows the Brooklyn waterfront as it might appear several hundred years in the future if human-induced climate change continues unabated. The phrase "Manifest Destiny" refers to the nineteenth-century belief that white Americans were destined by God to conquer the continent and its Indigenous Peoples. Rockman's Manifest Destiny images how the expansionist impulses of the past persist today and may result in the end of human civilization tomorrow.

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.
