Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NMHMWO_100619_010.JPG: Wounded in Action: An Art Exhibition of Orthopaedic Advancements "Wounded in Action" recognizes those who have had orthopaedic injuries as a result of serving our country during a time of war. From World War II to Iraq to Afghanistan, thousands of uniformed service members have suffered severe musculoskeletal injuries. Their stories are told through the art on display in the installation. The exhibition also recognizes orthopaedic surgeons who, through history, have risked their own safety to care for military service members, to save lives and limbs, to advance medical treatments, and to conduct research and learn from war in order to better treat those who sustain orthopaedic trauma. "Wounded in Action" is produced by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
2. NMHMWO_100619_029.JPG: Benjamin: Wished He'd Seen the Bomb Drop: by Robert A. Booth The Work: Robert A. Booth, a professor of visual art and new media at the State University of New York, Fredonia, focuses on "the irreversible moment when the course of a life is irrevocably altered." Though the figure faces a dramatically changed future, he can't help but look back, trying to remember that moment when everything changed -- a fixation may trauma survivors experience. The Artist: Images of flag-draped coffins and televised reports of daily casualties from the Vietnam War permeated Booth's teenage years. "As a young man, the thought of being drafted into these circumstances had a profound effect on me," Booth says. So did the sight of returning soldiers, who appeared to be broken by the experience of war. Today, as he watches soldiers return home from Iraq and Afghanistan, he laments the physical and emotional scars that they bring home. "I think about those that came back, in whole and in part, with a keen respect for their capacity to endure. Many have had the rest of their lives changed in an instant, and they will have to rely as much on the resiliency of their spirit as they do on medical intervention to acclimate themselves to their future."

8. NMHMWO_100619_091.JPG: Untitled 3 by Altaf Qadri The Work: An elderly man holds a horizontal bar in each arm, bracing himself as he learns to walk with an artificial leg. Though accurate figures are not available, there are an estimated 800,000 people in Afghanistan with mobility impairments, about 40,000 of whom as limb amputees.

11. NMHMWO_100619_129.JPG: Body Image I, II, III by Greg. M. Carden The Work: Greg M. Carden created this series of self-portraits using a manually operated film camera. He adjusted the exposure and applied filters to the lens to convey a changing body image and his search for wholeness. "It is also a humorous testament to survival," Carden says.

15. NMHMWO_100619_175.JPG: Patience by John Ton The Work: The image, made of spent ammunition cases, depicts the "chronic patience required by a physically disabled person," John Ton says. It is his hope that those who view it will reflect on this patience, and gain some patience for themselves. "Regardless of where people stand politically on the gun issue, I want them to first see the beauty of the textures and patinas of the material I have chosen," he says.

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..
