Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NEWSP_120928_02.JPG: 2012 Feature Welcome Home Scott Ostrom returned from his second tour in Iraq with an honorable discharge from the Marines and post-traumatic streess disorder. For nine months, Denver Post photographer Craig Walker chronicles Ostrom's anxiety attacks, depression, and job and relationship struggles. Ostrom was haunted by memories of the brutality in Iraq and carried guilt for things he did and didn't do in a war he no longer believed in. He admitted to Walker. "I was a brutal killer and I rejoiced in it. Now I'm trying to adjust and feel human again." Walker photographed Ostrom looking over his military records and weeping after his application for a new apartment was rejected because of an assault charge. He'd been trying to escape an apartment that held only bad memories: two arrests and his own suicide attempt. One in five veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from PTSD, depression or both, said Walker, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2010 for photos of a soldier's journey from high school to deployment. "These wars are going to affect not only veterans and their families but their communities and our nation for generations."
2. NEWSP_120928_09.JPG: 2012 Breaking News Suicide Bombing Agence France-Presse photographer Massoud Hossaini was shooting photos of a crown celebrating a Muslim holiday near a mosque in Kabal when a suicide bomber ignited a powerful explosion that threw Hossaini to the ground. His left hand bleeding, Hossaini grabbed his camera and ran toward the blast site. Amid the carnage stood 12-year-old Tarana Akbari wearing a bright green dress to mark the holiday. She was screaming in terror. At her feet lay the body of her 7-year-old brother, Shoaib, one of more than 70 people killed on Dec. 6, 2011. "A few seconds before I was recording smiling faces," recalled Hossaini, "then I was facing a circle of dead bodies piled up on each other." Hossaini's photograph ran on front pages around the world. The photographer wept for days. "This is the reality of Afghan life," said Hossaini, who was born in Afghanistan but left as a boy. "This is a real war, a war without reason, and it's really painful and it's really violent. Everybody who sees that picture sees our situation. Who are the victims? Children, women and civilians."

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.
