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.

3. AFI_210425_028.JPG: [For some reason, the original pre-closure notice was still on the door,] A Message About COVID-19 The health and safety of our customers and employees is extremely important to us. AFI Silver continues to be OPEN for business, with some additional precautionary measures in place. We have taken steps to minimize risk with more frequent and expanded cleaning efforts, with a particular focus on more highly trafficked areas and commonly touched places like arm rests, doors and door handles, countertops and faucets. In response to Governor Hogan's directive, we are going a step further, limiting seating in each theater to 50% of capacity, keeping audience size well below the permitted 250 persons, and providing ample space for social distancing. We will continue to monitor and follow guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as local and state public health authorities. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

12. AFI_211207_03.JPG: Ways to pass the time while washing your hands. Wash your hands with soap and water and recite this with a Valley Girl inflection for 20 seconds. "But people came that, like, did not RSVP. So I was, like, totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, squish in extra place settings. But, by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier! And so, if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say "RSVP" on the Statue of Liberty." -- Cher Horowitz, CLUELESS (1995)
13. AFI_211207_10.JPG: Ways to pass the time while washing your hands. Wash your hands with soap and water and recite this with a sense of trepidation for 20 seconds. "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. [opens hand, unveiling blue pill] You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. [opens hand, unveiling red pill] You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." -- Morpheus, THE MATRIX (1999)
14. AFI_211207_19.JPG: Ways to pass the time while washing your hands. Wash your hands with soap and water and recite this with a gradual decrease in speed for 20 seconds. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannh�user Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." -- Roy Batty, BLADE RUNNER (1982)
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.
2021 photos: Overnight trips this year: (May, October) After getting fully vaccinated, I made two trips down to Asheville, NC to visit my dad and his wife Dixie, and (July) Stockbridge, MA to see the Norman Rockwell Museum again as well as Daniel Chester French's place @ Chesterwood. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: about 283,000, up slightly from 2020 levels but still really low.
