Description of Pictures: The Newseum presents the Washington, D.C., premiere of the new documentary “Dateline – Saigon,” which profiles five Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists who covered the Vietnam War.
“Dateline – Saigon” chronicles the controversial and groundbreaking work of The New York Times’s David Halberstam, UPI’s Neil Sheehan and the Associated Press’s Malcolm Browne, Peter Arnett and Horst Faas. The film follows their reporting during the early days of U.S. involvement in Vietnam and their struggle to get the story out.
The film will be followed by a discussion with Sheehan and “Dateline – Saigon” director Tom Herman. New Yorker staff writer George Packer, who covered the Iraq War and other conflicts around the world, will also discuss contemporary war coverage.
Contributing support for this program has been provided by AP.

2015 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha!
Trips this year:
a quick trip to Florida.
two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and
my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles).
Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post.
Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
