Sixth & I and Politics & Prose -- Elizabeth Gilbert ("Committed") -- Notes:
Photo Library Home Page: [Click here] to go to Bruce Guthrie's Photo Library home page.
Description of Pictures: Elizabeth Gilbert, the best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love, examines questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family tradition, social expectations, and divorce risks in her new memoir, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage.
At the end of Eat, Pray, Love, Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who'd been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, under any circumstances, get legally married. (Both were survivors of previous horrific divorces.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government, which after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at the America border crossing, gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country.

Missing Some Bigger photos? Each new digital camera by default wants to take larger and larger photos. To save myself time and server space, I don't upload to the web site versons of photos that are bigger than 1.75 megabytes to the web page. If you want the biggest sized photo and you don't see a link bigger than 0640x0480, email me and I'll email specific photos to you.

2010 photos: Equipment this year: I was using mostly the Fuji S100fs. (I'm on my third copy of it.) For formal receptions, I'm using the Nikon D90 since it has a better chance of getting the one-shot picture. I still have the S200EHX but I'm undecided about it.
Trips this year: So far, none! I've got so many local commitments that I'm having trouble getting away. I've got a trip planned to Lexington, Kentucky to cover the Civil War Preservation Trust's annual conference there. I've also got my normal trip planned out west that hinges on the San Diego Comic-Con. And that will probably be it.
Ego strokes: The year's young. Nothing major so far.
Photos taken this year: 134,000 through April -- just a hair higher than last year's frenetic pace.
