Description of Pictures: BURN: ONE YEAR ON THE FRONT LINES TO SAVE DETROIT
Audience Award, 2012 Tribeca Film Festival
Through the eyes of Detroit firefighters charged with the thankless task of saving a city that many have written off as dead, BURN tells the gripping story of a city struggling for survival. The film follows the crew of Engine Company 50 — one of the busiest firehouses in America — who believe in their city and are attempting to make a difference every day. A story of human struggles, hope and personal courage in the face of overwhelming odds, this documentary puts the spotlight on those who have the vision and the heart to bring a forgotten American dream back to Detroit.
DIR/PROD Tom Putnam, Brenna Sanchez. US, 2012, color, 86 min. NOT RATED
Presented in cooperation with DC Fire Fighter Association Local 36, International Association of Fire Fighters

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.
