Description of Pictures: RADIOACTIVE WOLVES (Austria, 2011, 50 min.)
After the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor on April 26, 1986, around 340,000 people were displaced from the exclusion zone of Chernobyl, which stretches from Ukraine into Belarus and Russia. In the absence of humans, a profusion of wild species has taken over, creating a new wilderness. At the top of this ecosystem is the wolf. Rumors about wolves in the zone have been numerous, but hard facts are still rare. Curious about these rumors, the crew tries to answer such questions as: How many wolves are there really in this area? How are the animals dealing with the radioactive pollution? Do they migrate to the zone from uncontaminated areas and then die? Or is there a resident population? Narrated by Harry Smith. Directed and written by Klaus Feichtenberger. Winner, Best Wildlife Habitat Program, 2011 Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival.
Introduced by Andrea Schrammel, Director, Austrian Cultural Forum. Discussion with filmmaker Klaus Feichtenberger follows screening.

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.
