ALAC_070623_109.JPG: Phil Yeh. He had a guitar that he brought around that he was getting signed.
ALAC_070623_128.JPG: Phil Yeh's guitar is an intimate part of something the Cartoonists Across America has called the Guitar Project. As is stated on the web site at http://wingedtiger.com/CAA/events_news/theguitar.html :
Patrick Bubien, the owner of Guitarification: Custom Guitars and Basses, has donated a wonderful custom-made guitar to Cartoonists Across America's worldwide campaign to promote literacy, creativity and the arts!
CAA's president and founder Phil Yeh has been traveling all over the world with this guitar, getting many notable people to draw and add their signature, including; legendary writer Ray Bradbury, Gary Owens (Laugh-In), MAD magazine's Sergio Aragones, actor Alan Alda (who painted with us almost 20 years ago in Los Angeles), For Better of For Worse creator Lynn Johnston, Star Wars artist Steve Leialoha, Simpsons artist Phil Ortiz, Gumby writer and creator of the Flaming Carrot, Bob Burden, Mutts' creator Patrick McDonnell, Foxtrot's Bill Amend, Dinotopia's James Gurney, writer Peter Straub, and many others. The list keeps growing, and the space on the guitar is nearly full.
The guitar continues to tour with Phil at major book and art festivals and we hope to, one day, have a nice exhibit of the guitar at the Cleveland Rock & Roll HALL OF FAME, making the connection of art and rock that has always existed in this world.

Wikipedia Description: American Library Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Library Association (ALA) is a group based in the United States that promotes libraries and library education internationally. It is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with approximately 64,600 members. Founded in 1876 in Philadelphia and chartered in 1879 in Massachusetts, its head office is now in Chicago. Since 2002, Keith Michael Fiels has been the ALA executive director (CEO).
The stated mission of the ALA is "to provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all." ALA membership is open to any person or organization, though most of its members are libraries or librarians. As well, most members live and work in the United States, with international members comprising 3.5% of total membership.
The ALA is governed by an elected council and an executive board. Policies and programs are administered by various committees and round tables. One of the organization's most visible tasks is overseen by the Office for Accreditation, which formally reviews and authorizes American and Canadian academic institutions that offer degree programs in library and information science.
Members may join one or more of eleven membership divisions that deal with specialized topics such as academic, school, or public libraries, technical or reference services, and library administration. Members may also join any of seventeen round tables that are grouped around more specific interests and issues than the broader set of ALA divisions.
The ALA is affiliated with regional, state, and student chapters across the country. It also organizes conferences, participates in library standards development, and publishes a number of books and periodicals. The ALA annually confers numerous notable book and media awards, includin ...More...

2007 photos: Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it.
Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler.
Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust")..
Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
