Description of Pictures: Running Fence: Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The film Running Fence (1978), directed by David Maysles, Albert Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin, depicts the four year struggle of artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to build a 24.5-mile fence of white fabric and steel poles through the hills of Californias Sonoma and Marin Counties and into the Pacific Ocean. The film celebrates the artists vision and accomplishment in the face of bureaucratic hurdles. A conversation with artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude will follow the screening.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. CHRIST_080906_558.JPG: The artist Christo (Javacheff) died on May 31. He and his wife Jeanne-Claude (who died in 2009) had established themselves as world famous drapists. They were probably best known here in the States for the Running Fence installation in California (24 miles of hanging white nylon which took four years of preparation and was up for two weeks in 1976) as well as The Gates which were installed briefly in New York's Central Park back in 2005. They also covered the Reichstag and did curtains around some islands... They were rather unique.
2. CHRIST_080906_708.JPG: Allison Jessing, Christo and Jeanne-Claude
3. CHRIST_080906_709.JPG: Jean Paul and Christo @ the Donald Reynolds Center (Smithsonian American Art Museum).

2008 photos: Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina. Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater. Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year. Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
