Description of Subject Matter: The National Press Club puts on an annual author's night, bringing in perhaps 35 authors to talk about and sign copies of their new books. The list of authors varies each year based on publishing schedules but I've seen an amazing variety of people there each time. Funds raised by the Book Fair will benefit the Press Club's Eric Friedheim Library and News Information Center, a resource for journalists around the world.

2008 photos: Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year.
Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina.
Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater.
Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
