Description of Pictures: A MILLION COLOURS
In Person: director Peter Bishai
This sweeping romantic drama follows the story of Muntu Ndebele, once South Africa's most famous black teen actor, who fell from grace after the early 1970s blockbuster E'LOLLIPOP made him a beloved childhood star. Forced into hiding after participating in the June 16, 1976, student uprising in Soweto, Ndebele's life spiraled downward into crime and despair. Separated from the love of his life, he becomes a fugitive and struggles to survive apartheid. This film is an inspiring true story of danger, adventure, romance, betrayal and redemption, set against the turbulent background of a nation in crisis. Official Selection, 2011 Montreal World Film Festival. – Courtesy of the Hollywood Black Film Festival

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.
