Description of Pictures: CARBON NATION (USA, 2010, 83 min.)
Panel and film screening presented by Booz Allen Hamilton. Panel follows screening.
World Premiere Can we get the upper hand on global warming? The impending climate change crisis is inspiring courageous and optimistic Americans to action. From citizens operating on their own to titans of industry revamping age-old business practices, these entrepreneurs, inventors, gamblers, visionaries and ground-breakers are rising to the challenge of climate change. The solutions are here: massive increases in energy efficiency; ever rising effectiveness of biofuels, wind, solar, tidal and thermal power. And what about nuclear energy? From meeting halls to corporate campuses, activists and CEOs are fighting on the front lines to make earth a much healthier and more habitable planet, and they’re dedicated because they know it is the right thing for our communities, businesses and country. From General Electric to Wal-Mart to Goldman Sachs, business leaders realize that massive new economic opportunities will result from global warming solutions. The film shares personal stories of conviction, of dollars and sense and, ultimately, of vision and leadership to tackle the defining issue of our time. One thing is certain: everyone will have a part to play in the creation of renewable, clean, sustainable energy – from citizen activists to board rooms, from city halls to state houses and from Congress to the White House. Directed and produced by Peter Byck.

2010 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs until the third one broke and I started sending them back for repairs. Then I used either the Fuji S200EHX or the Nikon D90 until I got the S100fs ones repaired. At the end of the year I bought a Nikon D5000 but I returned it pretty quickly.
Trips this year:
Civil War Trust conferences (Lexington, KY and Nashville, TN), and
my 5th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles).
My office at the main Commerce Department building closed in October and I was shifted out to the Bureau of the Census in Suitland Maryland. It's good to have a job of course but that killed being able to see basically any cultural events during the day. There's basically nothing of interest that you can see around the Census building.
Number of photos taken this year: about 395,000..
