1. NEWSP_110612_02.JPG: 2011 Breaking News Earthquake in Haiti Washington Post photographer Carol Guzy arrived in Port-au-Prince the night after the earthquake struck on Jan. 12, 2010. The next morning, a man told Guzy he had heard screams coming from a nearby school. She rushed over to find a horrific scene: children at their school desks, crushed to death in the collapse of the building. Families and residents searched desperately for survivors. Cindy Tersme lay upon the rubble and wailed in grief. "She was crying that she could see her brother's feet but she couldn't pull him out," Guzy said. "I'm sure he was dead." Guzy stayed in Haiti several weeks. Colleagues Nikki Kahn and Ricky Carioti traveled there in the months that followed to photograph the earthquake's aftermath. A four-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Guzy had photographed Haitian tragedies before. But covering this disaster, which killed more than 300,000 people, was particularly difficult. "It just seemed unfair that they had to, yet again, weep over their dead," she said.
2. NEWSP_110612_11.JPG: 2011 Feature Caught in the Crossfire Ten-year-old Erica Miranda was in pain as she stared out her hospital window. Two weeks earlier, she had been the victim of a gang-related shooting -- bullets tore through her back, knee and hip while she played basketball at a neighbor's house. Los Angeles Times photographer Barbara Davidson took photographs at the hospital as a nurse changed Erica's bandage. "The nurse had removed the dressing and... the scar was exposed," Davidson said. "Here you see this beautiful, innocent girl, and here you see this horrific scar. It's such as contrast between incredible beauty and incredible horror." Davidson spent two years documenting the impact of gang violence in Los Angeles County. Her series chronicling the daily struggled of victims and their families raised awareness about the persistent problem of criminal gangs in the community. For Davidson, Erica's scar was a haunting symbol of the violence. "I thought that would be a powerful reminder to people in our community as to what was happening."

2011 photos: 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. 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. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
