Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. 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:
1. SIAHIN_220508_02.JPG: Think With Us Welcome back! Here at the museum, we study history, but like you we also live it. We are living through a historic moment as the country faces multiple crises: a global pandemic, political turmoil, economic uncertainty, climate change, and widespread protests against racial injustice. Just as you are dealing with these issues, so too are we as the museum's staff. We're thinking a lot about what we collect, what we exhibit, and what we present. You'll see signs in the galleries pointing out areas where we're focusing our attention. We want you to think with us about how we might respond as history shifts around us. Send us your thoughts at s.si.edu/thinkwithus We'll gratefully read all submissions but won't share them without your approval.

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.
Featured Folk: Some of the people here can also be seen on other pages on this site.

2022 photos: This website had its 20th anniversary in August, 2022. Overnight trips this year: (February) Asheville, NC to visit Dad and Dixie and some other members of my family, (July) A trip out west for the return of San Diego Comic-Con, and (October) A long weekend in New York to cover New York Comic-Con. 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 386,000, up 2020 and 2021 levels but still way below pre-pandemic levels.
