Description of Pictures: "Alive from Palestine" with Jim Hoagland and George Ibrahim:
Created by Palestinian artists, these stories of ordinary life lived in extraordinary circumstances reflect the artists’ view of the Palestinian experience.
Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Jim Hoagland joins artistic director George Ibrahim to discuss how Arabs are portrayed in the media and the distinction between dramatic and journalistic presentations.
The event was moderated by Sonya Gavankar, from the Newseum.

ALIVE_090228_400.JPG: One question had been from a woman who insisted that the people didn't realize Gaza was being treated as an occupied territory. Jim said they clearly specified that in every article. She said the term didn't convey the magnitude of the issue. Jim said the term was legal as well as military. George said the media was responsible for the misinterpretation of the situation. Jim turned to George Ibrahim and asked:
Jim: Would you prefer we not use "occupied territories"?
George: No. I would prefer we would be pre [sic] occupied.
At which point, everyone laughed. These two pictures show Jim responding to the joke.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
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.
2009 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji.
Trips this year:
Niagara Falls, NY,
New York City,
Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and
my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc).
Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
