See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
- EATON_210121_26.JPG: The Eaton DC hotel which is where some of the 2020 Women's March planning events were held. We also had some events for the Environmental Film Festival there. The 209-room Eaton DC opened in November 2018 as "the world's first activist hotel." The hotel's owner Katherine Lo, is the daughter of Lo Ka Shui, the billionaire owner of Great Eagle Holdings, the umbrella company for Langham Hotels. Great Eagle Holdings is a Hong Kong real estate company. It switched its registration to Bermuda in 1990, perhaps as a way of avoiding the expected Chinese take over of Hong Kong.
The hotel always features progressive artwork on the 12th and K side of the building. I hadn't seen this one before. "Let Love Quiet Fear", with a credit to ForFreedoms. For Freedoms' website ( https://forfreedoms.org/ ) says "For Freedoms is an artist-led organization that models and increases creative civic engagement, discourse and direct action. We work with artists and organizations to center the voices of artists in public discourse, expand what participation in a democracy looks like, and reshape conversations about politics."

Resist COVID. Take 6!
- EATON_210822_12.JPG: Everyone Deserves a Safe DC!
That's why we require our guests to wear their masks indoors. Vaccine disparities in Washington DC are perpetuating the impact COVID-19 has had on our marginalized neighbors. Wearing our masks indoors will continue to slow the spread, and getting vaccines for each of our community members will save lives.

- 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.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
