Patent History

21 Jun 2006

I recently posted about a nice little bit of historical information that I had found while traveling for work. Since then, I purchased a digital photo camera. This week, since I’m back at the same location where I found “The Real McCoy” factoid and since I brought my new camera, I decided to take some pictures of some of the plaques.

Unfortunately, the subject I’m trying to photograph is so highly reflective, that only 4 out of the 14 photos I snapped today turned out well enough to be used.

Three were out of focus and 7 others had flash bulb blotches (do you think that’s the correct photography term for it?) on the images that obscured parts of the text. So, here are the first four. I’ll try to get the other 10 again, tomorrow and show them in another post.
