Description of Pictures: Barbara Bush: Family and Friends in a Public Life. Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein welcomes former First Lady Barbara Pierce Bush in an American Conversation. Since leaving the White House in 1993, Mrs. Bush has continued to serve others with tireless energy and good humor. As First Lady, she was devoted to the cause of a more literate America and became Honorary Chairman and founder of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. She has supported many causes—including the fight against cancer, the Ronald McDonald House, the homeless, AIDS, the elderly, and school volunteer programs. In addition, Mrs. Bush authored C. Fred’s Story and the best-selling Millie’s Book, whose profits benefited the literacy cause, and Barbara Bush: A Memoir, her best-selling autobiography. Her most recent book, Reflections, documents her life after the White House.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

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.
