Description of Pictures: 50 Years, 50 Works: The Art of Latin America and the Caribbean in the 20th Century. The exhibition gathered 50 outstanding artworks from the art collections of the Inter-American Development Bank and the Art Museum of the Americas of the Organization of American States—both in Washington, D.C. It was organized by the Cultural Center and presented at the Museo de Antioquia, in the City of Medellín, Colombia. The exhibit represented, to a great extent, the development of the arts in the Region throughout the 20th century. The number of works was deliberately fixed to associate the occasion with the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Inter-American Development Bank and the celebration of the 2009 Annual Meeting of its Board of Governors.

2009 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji.
Trips this year:
Niagara Falls, NY,
New York City,
Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and
my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc).
Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
