Films and Panel Discussion to Mark World Water Day
Reception Follows Program
PERU'S GOLD RUSH (Peru, 2011, 9 min.) In the Madre de Dios region of Peru, a virgin rainforest is losing ground to unrestricted wildcat gold mining. (Filmmaker Stephen Sapienza will also screen excerpts from his current Pulitzer Center project on water and sanitation in West Africa, focused on issues of accountability and sustainability.) Produced for PBS NewsHour by Emmy Award Winner Stephen Sapienza.
GUERRILLA MINING IN GUIANA'S MIDST (French Guiana, 2011, 5 min.) Soaring gold prices have lured Brazilians to illegal gold mines in the deep jungle of French Guiana. French police have waged a sporadic, largely unsuccessful effort to shut them down. Produced for Harper’s by Narayan Mahon.
THE DARK SIDE OF COLOMBIA'S GOLD RUSH (Colombia, 2011, 4 min.) Colombia’s gold rush pits local subsistence miners against large corporate interests, criminal gangs and the police. Produced for GlobalPost by Nadja Drost.
GHANA: OIL BOOM, FISHING FEARS (Ghana, 2011, 4 min.) The traditional fishing village of
Abuesi, in western Ghana, awaits with trepidation the possible repercussions for their community of oil
discoveries just offshore. Produced for iWatch by Christiane Badgley.
THE PENAN OF BORNEO (Malaysia, 2011, 4 min.) The Penan people are little in stature, little in number and little in the eyes of the government.

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.
