26. BROOKC_220320_1280.JPG: She kept writing the initials "AF" after her piece. I had gotten used to seeing the letters -- meaning "As F---" as in "He's crazy AF" -- and wondered what she meant. Colin suggested that this wasn't what "AF" meant and that her personal initials were "AF". I talked to her later and that turned out to be true.

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.
