Description of Pictures: Join the National Portrait Gallery for an evening event. A living self-portrait with Vernon Jordan, the civil rights leader, activist, lawyer, business executive and influential political figure. Marc Pachter, former Portrait Gallery director and now acting director of the National Museum of American History, will interview Jordan about his life, his work, and his contributions to both the civil rights movement and to American culture in general.
Vernon Jordan played an important role in the civil rights movement, heading the United Negro College Fund in the 1960s and serving as president of the National Urban League (1972–81). Jordan joins former interviewees such as former Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor, publisher Katharine Graham and poet Gwendolyn Brooks, in telling his life story.
This program is presented in conjunction with the “The Black List: Photographs by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders” exhibition, at the National Portrait Gallery through April 22.
This exhibition and related programs are generously sponsored by AT&T.

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.
