Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NEWSFR_150922_030.JPG: China's Crackdown on Human Rights Freedom Week China is one of the worst censors of news and free expression in the world, jailing more journalists and dissidents than any other country. As Chinese President Xi Jinping meets with President Barack Obama this week, the Newseum draws attention to China's intolerance of free expression and religious liberty. The banners on the front of the Newseum call on China to respect human rights and freedom of expression. The banner messages were created by Chinese human rights activists. In the panels to the right, the Newseum spotlights 30 journalists and dissidents who are now jailed for daring to challenge the Chinese government. Journalists accused of "leaking state secrets" and "spreading false rumors" are subjected to secret trials, forced confessions and imprisonment. President Xi has placed new restrictions on social media, further reducing opportunities to share news and ideas. Show your support for free expression in China on social media using #FreedomWeek. This exhibit was produced in cooperation with: * Amnesty International USA * China Aid * Freedom House * Human Rights in China * Human Rights Watch * Initiatives for China * International Campaign for Tibet * Reporters Without Borders * Uyghur Human Rights Project Exhibit Designer: Tyler Jordan Graphic Design: Susan Cook
2. NEWSFR_150922_033.JPG: What the Banners Say: * Lift Restrictions, Free the Press * Chinese Government Should Respect Human Rights * Release Human Rights Defenders in China * Long Live Freedom, Long Live Democracy * Women's Rights Are Human Rights * New Citizens' China Dream
3. NEWSFR_150922_072.JPG: Goddess of Democracy Freedom Week Inside the Newseum and visible through the glass above this panel is a bronze reproduction of the original 33-foot-tall plaster Goddess of Democracy, created in May 1989 by Chinese students who led a pro-democracy movement in Beijing's Tianamnmen Square. On June 4, 1989, Chinese armed forces moved in with tanks, killing hundreds of unarmed protesters and destroying the statue. Share your thoughts about free expression on social media under #FreedomWeek.
4. NEWSFR_150922_176.JPG: Goddess of Democracy Freedom Week As Chinese President Xi Jinping meets with President Barack Obama this week, the Newseum draws attention to China's intolerance of free expression and religious liberty with a series of programs and exhibits called Freedom Week. This statue is a bronze reproduction of the original 33-foot-tall plaster Goddess of Democracy, created in May 1989 by Chinese students who led a pro-democracy movement in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. On June 4, 1989, Chinese armed forces moved in with tanks, killing hundreds of unarmed protesters and destroying the statue. Today, Tinanmen Square is a forbidden topic in China, where censors block access to any information that challenges the ruling Communist Party. China's online censorship system -- dubbed the "Great Firewall of China" -- restricts what can be published and shared online. Show your support for free expression by taking your picture with the Goddess of Democracy and sharing it on social media using #FreedomWeek.
5. NEWSFR_150922_243.JPG: A European couple saw the firetruck and got really excited. They had been on a tour of the United States and seeing the truck was actually a highlight. They said they don't have large fire trucks in their country because their cities are old and the roads are too small to allow something this size to come through.

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.
