NEWS_080329_02.JPG: Satellite Breakthrough:
This Applications Technology Satellite 1 (ATS 1) is a replica of the one launched by NASA in 1966. It was the first satellite to send and receive signals simultaneously. In 1967, ATS 1 was the third link in a satellite chain that made possible the first live global television broadcast. Called "Our World," the program was watched by viewers in 24 countries. The two-hour telecast spanned the globe with live segments ranging from a demonstration of shrimp fishing in Japan to a Beatles recording session in England. Also that year, ATS 1 provided the first live pictures from the Pacific of the splashdown of the unmanned Apollo 4 command module. Designed to operate for three years, ATS 1 functioned for 19 years.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com

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.
