Here is the link to the Federal Computer Week article in which I highlight the priorities from 17 countries, discussed at a recent ICA conference in Taiwan.
I took this photograph in Taiwan during a reception hosted by President Ma Ying-jeou to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the overthrow of the last dynasty of China—the Qing dynasty which ruled China from 1644 to 1911—by the Republic of China.
During the reception, I photographed the aboriginal drummers, some dancing gracefully in the shallow water as they played ancient rhythms on their drums, complemented by other drummers on land, framed by the woods.
Of the many pictures Mary Alice and I took during the year, we selected this one as our 2011 card because of the depth, the colors, and because the scene, and remembered sounds and cadence, were so riveting, with recorded roots dating back to the 11th century BC.
