Description of Pictures: Sixth & I and SpeakeasyDC present the fourth annual night of funny, poignant, powerful, and peculiar autobiographical stories about all things Jewish, not-so-Jewish, and wanna-be Jewish on the last night of Chanukah.
This year’s stories center on tourism in Israel, classes for interfaith couples, marrying into a Jewish family, always being mistaken for a Jew, finding your Jewish identity in an African country, following the career of the most influential Jewish American athlete of all-time, and, of course, brisket. Storytellers in sequence:
* (Host) Amy Saidman, SpeakEasyDC's artistic executive director.
* Bonnie Benwick, Interim Food Editor of The Washington Post.
* Eliot Stein, Managing Editor of Living Social.
* Hillah Culman, raised in Germany, is a Program Manager for Pro-Active Performance.
* Andy Pollin, Co-host of The Sports Reporters on ESPN980.
* Sara Polon, aka Soupergirl.
* Meleia Egger, Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Liaison.
* John Donvan, ABC News Correspondent.

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired.
Trips this year:
three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA),
a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean,
another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and
my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc).
Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else..
Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
