Description of Pictures: Jonathan Safran Foer, In Conversation with Jeffrey Goldberg
In the book of Genesis, when God calls out, “Abraham!” to order him to sacrifice his son Isaac, Abraham responds, “Here I am.” Later, when Isaac calls out, “My father!” to ask him why there is no animal to slaughter, Abraham responds, “Here I am.”
How do we fulfill our conflicting duties as father, husband, and son; wife and mother; child and adult? Jew and American? How can we claim our own identities when our lives are linked so closely to others’? These are the questions at the heart of Foer’s first novel in eleven years—a work of extraordinary scope and heartbreaking intimacy.
Unfolding over four tumultuous weeks, in present-day Washington, D.C., Here I Am is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. As Jacob and Julia and their three sons are forced to confront the distances between the lives they think they want and the lives they are living, a catastrophic earthquake sets in motion a quickly escalating conflict in the Middle East. At stake is the very meaning of home and the fundamental question of how much life one can bear.
Foer is the author of two bestselling, award-winning novels, Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and a bestselling work of nonfiction, Eating Animals. Fun fact: his mom is the Director of Sixth & I! In conversation with Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic’s National Correspondent. Book signing to follow.

2016 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Seven relatively short trips this year: a Civil War Trust conference in Gettysburg, PA, a trip out west for San Diego Comic-Con (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, a trip to West Point, NY for another Civil War Trust conference (visiting Manhattan on the way), two two-day return trips to Manhattan, NY, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
