Description of Pictures: Raoul Middleman: City Limits
Saturday, January 28 – Sunday, March 18
Baltimore maestro Raoul Middleman’s nudes are not pretty—they are sagging, dimpled, and real. His cityscapes reveal the underbelly of post-industrial rot, his narrative paintings give contemporary life to his personal obsessions. They are intelligent, messy, and utterly masterful.
Same Event: Wait! There's more! Because I took too many pictures, photos from this event were divided among the following pages:

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
KATRAO_120128_005.JPG: Raoul Middleman: City Limits
Comic books were like an extension of Renaissance and Greek art. You have the heroes, you have the Tintoretto space to make the format more interesting, to shake it out of a linear dullness, you look up at something, you look down on another scene: all these gods and goddesses that circulate among the clouds that occasionally come down to earth to cause all kinds of panic among us mortals. Comic books could be seen as the dying gasp of Renaissance morphology.
KATRAO_120128_031.JPG: I think Baltimore has a certain funky presence... a squalid degeneracy about it that gets transformed into an icon of subversive glamour.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
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.

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.
