Photographers and reporters are not very different. We are all communicators. Photojournalists simply "write" with light.
You may wonder how many pictures you can take until someone really sees. How many times can your own heart break?
But then you glimpse a resilience and beauty in the human spirit, even in the most desolate times, which is deeply moving, and you continue to record...
With pictures we can weep... and rage at injustice everywhere. And also celebrate the daily life around us, its mystery and magic -- its poetry and wonder.
Remembering also that as photojournalists we are merely a link. It's the people in the pictures and those who view them who are the most important ones.
-- Carol Guzy

2008 photos: 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.
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.
Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
