Description of Pictures: Filmmaker Aviva Kempner was on hand to introduce and discuss her 2001 award-winning documentary "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg" on Detroit Tiger Hank Greenberg, the extraordinary baseball player who transcended religious prejudice to become an American icon. This compelling documentary combines archival footage, photographs, and period music to examine how America's first Jewish baseball star was a beacon of hope to American Jews who faced bigotry during the Depression and World War II.
Slide Show: Want to see all of medium-sized pictures in a slide show? (This option will look horrible if your screen resolution is 800x600 or less. And make sure you expand the window that pops up to full screen so you can see them okay.)

2005 Images: In 2005, I used four cameras -- two Fujifilm S7000 cameras (which were plagued by dust inside the lens), a new Fujifilm S5200 (nice but not great and I hated the proprietary xD memory chips), and a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (returned because it felt flimsy to me). I gave my Epson camera to my catsitter. Both of the S7000s were in for repairs over Christmas. Trips: Florida (for Lotusphere), a driving trip down south (seeing sites in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia), Williamsburg, and Chicago.
Got Culture? I hope a number of people look at this site and say, "Hey! I didn't realize how much I was missing!"
