Description of Pictures: Turmoil in the Middle East: What Changes in Technology Mean to Global Security & Peace
George J. Mitchell, Former U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Peace under the Obama Administration, former Senate Majority Leader
Senator George Mitchell is a renowned peace negotiator and was instrumental in securing the historic Good Friday agreement between the Republic of Ireland and the British-controlled North in the mid 1990’s. Such are his skills, experience and track record in conflict resolution that President Obama (on his second day in office) appointed Senator Mitchell as his Special Envoy to the Middle East. Once again, the world looked to George Mitchell to bring lasting peace to a region tormented by violence, a task he pursued between 2009 and 2011.

He will convey how technology is changing the way conflicts are being fought and its impact on the discussions to resolve them.
Senator George Mitchell started his career as a trial lawyer in the Justice Department, moved to become Executive Assistant to Senator Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, U.S. Attorney for Maine and U.S. District Judge for Maine. He served in the United States Senate from 1980-1995, being re-elected with 81 percent of the vote in 1988, the largest margin in the history of Maine. The following session, he was elected Senate Majority Leader, the second most powerful elected official in the United States and a position he held for the next six years. For six consecutive years, Senator Mitchell was voted ‘the most respected member’ of the Senate by a bipartisan group of senior congressional aides. After finishing his last Senate term, George Mitchell served as Chairman of the International Commission of Disarmament in Northern Ireland. As Chairman of the ...More...

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.
