Description of Pictures: Photos of the Christmas tree, the Norwegian train set (complete with trolls), and the giant wreaths. There was a wedding party that was getting pictures done while I was there so you'll see them as well.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
USXMAS_091205_160.JPG: The Christmas tree is a gift from Norway to the people of the United States -- in gratitude for help received during and after World War II. Norwegian and American flags side by side symbolize the strong relations between our nations. The bows are to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the "Battle of the Bulge" in Belgium during World War II, where the Norwegian-American 99th Battalion played a vital role.
Special thanks to the White House Commission on Remembrance and Union Station.

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.
Overnight 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.
