Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NEWSP_100619_01.JPG: 2010 Breaking News: River Rescue: During a couple's summer outing on the Des Moines River, their boat drifted over a dam, hurling them into the rolling waters below. Firefighters couldn't reach Patricia Ralph-Neely, 67, who was being sucked under by a powerful current. Des Moines Register photographer Mary Chind was watching from a crowded riverbank where she'd dropped off a camera lens for a colleague. Suddenly, she saw a construction crane moving toward the dam. Construction worker Jason Oglesbee was being lowered into the river. Using a 300 mm telephone lens -- shorter than ideal -- Chind braced her elbows and got a clear image. She focused on Ralph-Neely's hand. "Her hand was outstretched, and he got ahold of her forearm," Chind said. Ralph-Neely was lifted to safety. Ralph-Neely's husband, Alan, drowned that day, and Chind is sensitive about celebrating her award when "something tragic has happened to somebody in our hometown." After Chind won the Pulitzer, she was touched by a congratulatory note from Ralph-Neely telling her, "At least one of us was in the right place that day."
2. NEWSP_100619_13.JPG: 2010 Feature: American Soldier: Two days after enlisting in the US Army, 18-year-old Ian Fisher was having second thoughts. Fisher had signed up for combat after the 2007 troop surge in Iraq, and he had agreed to let Denver Post photographer Craig F Walker chronicle his journey from high school to deployment. The teenager was waiting to talk to his commander at Fort Benning, GA, while cradling an injured elbow that he saw as a possible way out. Walker framed a shot that captured what the photographer called Fisher's "love-hate relationship with the Army." Minutes later, the recruit "had a real heart-to-heart with his commander" and decided to move on to basic training. "After every down that Ian has, he always comes back," Walker said. Walker spent 27 months photographing Fisher as he matured from hard-partying teen to infantryman in Iraq, and overcame drug abuse, a demotion and a broken engagement. Through it all, Fisher never asked the photographer to put his camera down. Said Walker, "This story put a real human face on what's happened since 9/11."

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..
