Description of Pictures: This was a unique presentation as part of the Smithsonian Associate's "Splendors of Russia" series which celebrated 300 years of St Petersburg. The event featured three former US ambassadors to the Soviet Union--Arthur Hartman (1981-87), Thomas Pickering (1993-96), and James Collins (1998-2001)--discussing changes in the Soviet Union and various topics like Afghanistan and Cheznia. It was hosted by Walter Cutler, former ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Zaire. Also present was James Symington, a former Congressman, chief of protocol under Lyndon Johnson, and an instrumental figure in US-Soviet relations over the years.

2003 photos: Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year.
Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah.
Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
