Description of Pictures: Lily Tomlin received the sixth annual "Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor" this year. (Previously, I've seen Carl Reiner and Bob Newhart get the prizes.) Lily was born in Detroit and made her start in TV in 1966. In 1969, she made it big when she joined the cast of Laugh-In. She's won several Tony's, including for her one-woman Broadway shows "Appearing Nitely" and "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe." People honoring her included Dave Chappelle, Eve Ensler ("The Vagina Monologues"), Jane Fonda, Darrell Hammond (Saturday Night Live), Sarah Jones, George Lopez, Catherine O'Hara (who played the mother in "Beetlejuice"), Dolly Parton, Miss Piggy, Doris Roberts, and Elaine Stritch.

2003 photos: Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
