Description of Pictures: George P. Pelecanos, the author of more than a dozen crime-noir novels, spent years developing his writing talent and gathering his material from his life experiences in Washington, D.C. He was employed as a line cook, dishwasher, bartender, shoe salesman, electronics salesman and unskilled laborer -- all before publishing his first novel. His novels have won several awards, including International Crime Novel of the Year for The Big Blowdown (1996) and The Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Hell to Pay in 2003 and again in 2004 for Soul Circus. His most recent novel is The Night Gardener (Little, Brown, 2006). He works regularly as a screenwriter and independent-film producer and is a writer and producer for the acclaimed HBO television series “The Wire.” He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.

2006 photos: Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point.. Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia. Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
