Description of Pictures: THE BIG UNEASY
In Person: director Harry Shearer and Maria Garzino, whistleblowing engineer/2009 Public Servant of the Year!
Five years ago, a disaster struck New Orleans. In this feature-length documentary, humorist and New Orleans resident Harry Shearer gets the inside story from the people who were there. Shearer speaks to the investigators who poked through the muck as the water receded and a whistleblower from the Army Corps of Engineers, revealing that some of the same flawed methods responsible for the levee failure after Katrina are being used to rebuild the system expected to protect the new New Orleans.
DIR/SCR Harry Shearer; PROD Karen Murphy. US, 2010, color, 98 min. NOT RATED
Co-sponsored by the DC Labor FilmFest and the Project on Government Oversight

BIGEZ_110315_369.JPG: On May 14, 2015, it was announced that Harry Shearer -- the voice of Montgomery Burns, Ned Flanders, Principal Seymour Skinner. Reverend Lovejoy and Kent Brockman on "The Simpsons" -- would not appear in the show's 27th and 28th season. CNN reports that he would have been paid $14 million for those two years on the show. That's about $318,000/episode, each of which takes about 6 hours to record. Yep. About $880/minute.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

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.
