"Editorial Cartooning: Politics Through Art"
"Stop them damn pictures!!" raged the infuriated politician, "I don't care what the paper writes about me. My constituents can't read. But, damn it, they can see the pictures!"
So said political operative Boss Tweed, who famously raged about the devastating lampoons launched by Thomas Nast -- a cartoon attack that would eventually bring down Tweed and end his corrupt reign over New York City.
Today "them #!&% pictures" zip across the new digital landscape -- needling, infuriating, engaging and entertaining people on the web, in emails, on smart phones and iPads. From traditional newsprint to the blogosphere, Facebook and the Twitterverse, political cartooning is alive and well.
From the beginning of our country's history up to today, cartoons have played an important role in US political life. Paul Revere and Ben Franklin roused the rabble with cartoons, leading a revolution. Since then, political cartoons have called us to defend the nation from foreign foes and defend our freedoms from domestic forces. They make us stop and think -- and maybe stop and laugh.
As the journalism industry figures out how to survive the shift to the light speed and micro-news cycles of the digital age, one small corner is adapting and even flourishing. Political cartoons, though as old as newspapering itself, are perfect foil to the hyper speeds and truncated attention spans of today's media consumers.
This exhibit, drawn from submissions by members of the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists, represents a selection of the nation's cartoonists and caricaturists who are expressing their views on American politics and issues of national importance. It was co-curated with cartoonist Scott Stantis of the Chicago Tribune.

The powers at Penn State were silent for 14 years while Sandusky destroyed the lives of children.
Shouldn't their football program be silenced for just as long?
SMPA_120914_58.JPG: From Doodles to Dancing Animation:
Inspiration comes to artist Ann Telnaes for her digital animations from news items, audio files, and other research. She is one of the only US editorial cartoonists producing multiple animated cartoons per week. Her work for the website of the Washington Post reflects on current affairs in the form of 15-20 second animations.
She begins with hand-drawn sketches and then produces final inks that are scanned into a computer and digitally colored. She combines those digital files in animation software with an audio track and sound effects to produce the finished product.
Telnaes was the second woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning (2001). Before beginning her career as an editorial cartoonist, Telnaes worked for several years as a designer for Walt Disney Imagineering.

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.
