Description of Pictures: Part of Passport DC (Around the World) Open House 2012.
Doing a book-signing was Nana Amuah-Afenyi VI aka King Peggy.
Peggielene Bartels was born in Ghana in 1953 and moved to Washington, D.C., in her early twenties to work at Ghana's embassy. In an interesting twist of fate, she was chosen to be King of Otuam in 2008. Otuam is a Ghanaian town with a population of 7,000 on the west coast of Africa. Although, Queen Mothers can be easily found in Ghana, Lady Kings are very rare as such titles are only reserved for the men. In her new book, Peggielene Bartels describes going from secretary at the U.S. Embassy to king of a fishing town in Ghana.

2012 photos: Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
