SIAHPC_081124_138.JPG: Vaudeville Slapstick:
A slapstick is a noise-making stage prop consisting of two pieces of wood joined by a metal hinge. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it was often used by vaudeville entertainers in their boisterous routines to mimic the sound of a body blow, either by slapping it against the hand or leg. Today, the term is used to define a knockabout, heavily physical style of comedy.

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.
