4RLGVM_220610_044.JPG: What do the orange flowers represent?
Around 5,000 more people died in 2020 than 2019. The orange flowers symbolize the increase in lost lives.
4RLGVM_220610_047.JPG: Guns are now the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. It doesn't have to be like this.

We're losing too many Americans to rising violence -- 45,222 people in 2020 alone. It doesn't have to be this way. The Gun Violence Memorial aims to honor their stories and inspire the courage to act.
4RLGVM_220610_231.JPG: In preparation for June 11, 2022 March For Our Lives rally, Gabby Giffords' Gun Violence Memorial was set up near the Washington Monument. Anyone who thinks the rise in gun violence here has nothing to do with the increased number of guns here probably should reconsider whether they are intelligent enough to vote.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com

2022 photos: This year included major setbacks -- including Putin's invasion of Ukraine and the Supreme Court imposing the evangelical version of sharia law -- but also some steps forward like the results of the midterms.
This website had its 20th anniversary in August, 2022.
Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
Trips this year:
(February) a visit to see Dad and Dixie in Asheville, NC with some other members of my family,
(July) a trip out west for the return of San Diego Comic-Con, and
(October) a long weekend in New York to cover New York Comic-Con.
Number of photos taken this year: about 386,000, up 2020 and 2021 levels but still way below pre-pandemic levels.
