Description of Pictures: The Abraham Lincoln Institute hosted its seventh annual symposium featuring "The Latest in Lincoln Scholarship" at the National Archives facility in College Park. This all-day event featured a number of speakers, good food, and wonderful conversation.
This page of photos features speakers from the morning sessions:
* Brian R Dirck (speaking on "Lincoln the Lawyer"),
* William C. Harris (introduced by Fred Martin) (author of "Lincoln's Last Months," discussing "Lincoln and Trade Through the Lines"),
* Silvania R. Siddali (introduced by Michael Burlingame) (discussing "An Act of Justice: The Emancipation Proclamation, Slave Property, and Northern Public Opinion"), and
* Nelson D. Lankford (introduced by Terry Alford) (author of "Richmond Burning," discussing "Lincoln in Richmond").

But wait! There's more! Since I took so many, pictures from this event are divided into three pages:

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Photos taken this year: 110,000. User page views this year: 5,064.
