Description of Pictures: Inside Media: Tony Horwitz:
John Brown’s secret raid on Harpers Ferry ruptured the union between North and South, but few Americans know the true story of the militant idealists who invaded Virginia before the Civil War.
In the new book “Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid that Sparked the Civil War,” author Tony Horwitz returns to the Civil War era to tell the gripping story of a man and a mission that changed the course of history.
Horwitz probes the troubled soul of Brown, the desperate passion of his followers and the spirit of a divided nation.
Horwitz is the author of the best-sellers “A Voyage Long and Strange,” “Blue Latitudes,” “Confederates in the Attic” and “Baghdad Without A Map.” He worked as a reporter in Indiana and overseas as a foreign correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. He won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting and worked as a staff writer for The New Yorker before becoming a full-time author.
A book signing will follow the program.
The event was moderated by John Maynard, from the Newseum.

2012 photos: 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.
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..
Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
