2001 California State Science Fair Pictures

In the interests of getting these pictures exposed as soon as possible, we are making these raw photos available even before the annotations have been written. Below you will find links to just the pictures. You'll have to wait for the descriptions until we've got more of these pictures processed, though all of them will have descriptions before we're done with this year's Fair. The order of the photographs given below is intended to be chronological.
