Description of Pictures: FROGS: THE THIN GREEN LINE (USA, 2009, 57 min.)
Frogs have been living on this planet for more than 360 million years and, over the centuries, evolved into some of the most wondrous and diverse creatures on earth. Today, however, all their remarkable adaptations and survival tactics are failing them. Recent discoveries are startling: more than a third of all amphibians – most of which are frogs and toads – have already been lost and more are disappearing every day. It is an environmental crisis unfolding around the globe. Traveling from Australia to North and South America, where the calls of frogs once filled the air, scientists now hear only silence. Ecosystems are beginning to unravel and the potential to discover important medical cures may be lost forever. Habitat loss, pollution and a human population that has doubled in the past 50 years have set the stage for their diminished numbers. But now, a fungus called chytrid has been identified as the major culprit, and so far the spread of the fungus can’t be stopped. Written, produced and directed by Allison Argo.

Discussion with filmmaker Allison Argo; Dr. Brian Gratwicke, lead National Zoo scientist for the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project; and Karen Lips, Director of the Program on Sustainable Development and Conservation Biology, University of Maryland, follows screening.

2010 photos: 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. Overnight trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Lexington, KY and Nashville, TN), and my 5th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). 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. Number of photos taken this year: about 395,000..
