5. CORCCO_111203_032.JPG: Pop and Politics: In the 1950s and 1960s, Pop artists began experimenting with new ways of making work, mixing high and low culture, and bringing elements of mass production into the realm of fine art. With its charged subject matter, whimsical colors, and commercial silkscreen aesthetic, Andy Warhol's 1973 portrait of Mao Zedong represents the ultimate union of politics and popular culture. Although artists such as Warhol typically stressed style over content, many who followed used Pop Art techniques for politically and socially engaged ends. Robert Colescott's Auvers-sur-Oise (Crow in the Wheat Field), 1981, ixes references to Vincent van Gogh with racial stereotypes to make an irrelevant comment on the role of African-Americans in art history. Kerry James Marshall draws from folk art and popular culture to construct of contemporary history painting about the slave trade, one of the darkest episodes in American history. In Hand Held, 1996, Jane Hammond layers images from newspapers and magazines across a map of the United States, creating a painting that suggests the diversity and complexity of American life.

2011 photos: Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN), New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday (people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting), my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
