Description of Pictures: NO MORE SELECTIONS! WE WANT ELECTIONS!
In Person: director Sengbe Kona Khasu

In 2005, the Liberian people took to the polls to vote for a president. It would be the nation's first democratic elections since the bloody coup of 1980. From former child soldiers to village elders, Liberians gathered at voting booths (many for the first time in their lives) to vote for a president. The Liberian people chose Ellen Johnson Sirleaf over soccer superstar George Manneh Weah, making her Africa's first democratically-elected woman President. Emphasizing the voices of Liberia's largely unheard majority, this documentary chronicles the amazing story, capturing the hopes of a people struggling to rise from a difficult past and rebuild.

DIR/SCR/PROD Sengbe Kona Khasu; PROD Stephanie C. Horton. Liberia, 2011, color, 70 min. In English and Liberian with English subtitles. NOT RATED

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.
