Over the past few years, I have been providing quality amateur photography to over one million visitors to my website. I have covered subjects like minor league baseball, aviation, travel destination and much more. With the increase cost to operate the site and the expenses required to create the content, I have decided to open a fundraising account to help offset the costs. I have been providing photos and usage rights to parents of players, fans, enthusiasts and professional websites since the inception of the site without charging for usage. While I refuse to charge for use of content, I am asking for donations to help keep bringing you great photography. So if you like the work, please support the site and keep it going strong. Thank-you for your support. Click here to donate to the site.

On April 15, 1865, the Peterson House, a row house in Washington DC went from being the home of a German tailor William Peterson to being a prominent spot in American history.  It is in the bedroom of this house where President Abraham Lincoln passed away following his assassination.  Fearing the wounded president wouldn't make it back to the White House, he was ushered into the house located directly across the street from Ford's Theater.  The house became busy with activity, doctors attended to Lincoln in the back bedroom while Edward Stanton help run the country from the parlor.  Today the three rooms of the Peterson House used during this time can be toured for free as part of the Ford's Theatre historic site.  (Photo: February 14, 2009)
