NPCBF_021114_011.JPG: Talking to George C. Will @ the 2002 National Press Club's book fair, Phyllis George passed on May 14, 2020. She was crowned Miss America 1971 back in September 1970 and later was a sports caster and news anchor for CBS News. After taking one of her photos during this 2002 event, she was the only one who asked to see the photo to make sure she looked okay. She sure did!

Description of Subject Matter: The National Press Club puts on an annual author's night, bringing in perhaps 35 authors to talk about and sign copies of their new books. The list of authors varies each year based on publishing schedules but I've seen an amazing variety of people there each time. Funds raised by the Book Fair will benefit the Press Club's Eric Friedheim Library and News Information Center, a resource for journalists around the world.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com

2002 photos: Image quality isn't going to be very good for the first half of this year because these are scans of prints.
Equipment this year: I took the plunge and bought my first digital camera. It was August 2002 and I bought an Epson PhotoPC 3100Z. While a nice camera, it had some quirks and bumping it would result in it being totally out of focus until you manually shut it down -- something which blurred almost every picture I took in New York City one day.
Trips this year: Two weeks out west, one week in New York, and one week down south.
This was the year I started the photo web site. It started to come together in August 2002, mostly as a way of allowing me to keep track of the pictures I was taking. It took awhile to add some basic bells and whistles (logging didn't get added until November) but it's been pretty much like it started out since then. Archaic but working, and free!
