Description of Pictures: 1905: Einstein's Miraculous Year: The United Nations has endorsed the year 2005 as the World Year of Physics, a time for international celebration of the pioneering contributions of Albert Einstein in 1905 and an opportunity to increase worldwide awareness of the major role physics will play in the coming millennium. In conjunction with the many festivities that have taken place throughout the United States for the World Year of Physics, the Smithsonian Institution Libraries welcomes Dr. John Stachel, Professor of Physics Emeritus and Director of the Center of Einstein Studies at Boston University, to talk about Dr. Albert Einstein’s “miraculous year” or annus mirabilis. In 1905, Einstein published five papers that explained the Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect and proposed his special theory of relativity with its famous equation of e=mc2. These papers have ensconced Dr. Albert Einstein in history as one of the world’s most renowned scientists and serve as a foundation for the study of modern physics.

Dr. John Stachel, author of numerous books and articles on Einstein, wrote the introduction to the book Einstein’s Miraculous Year: Five Papers That Changed the Face of Physics, a compilation and English translation of all five of Einstein’s seminal works of 1905, published just in time for the centenary. In his talk at the Smithsonian, Dr. Stachel will discuss the significance of the annus mirabilis and recount the events in Einstein’s personal life that led to a miraculous moment in scientific history.

2005 photos: Equipment this year: I used four cameras -- two Fujifilm S7000 cameras (which were plagued by dust inside the lens), a new Fujifilm S5200 (nice but not great and I hated the proprietary xD memory chips), and a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (returned because it felt flimsy to me). I gave my Epson camera to my catsitter. Both of the S7000s were in for repairs over Christmas. Trips this year: Florida (for Lotusphere), a driving trip down south (seeing sites in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia), Williamsburg, and Chicago. Number of photos taken this year: 147,000.
