Description of Pictures: Mitch Albom: Have a Little Faith: A True Story
Have a Little Faith, Mitch Albom’s long-awaited return to nonfiction since Tuesdays with Morrie, explores life through a unique journey: Mitch’s search for the right words to eulogize a man of deep faith. The book begins with an unusual request: Albom's childhood rabbi asks him to deliver his eulogy. Albom insists on understanding the man better, which throws him back into a world of faith he'd left years ago. Together, they explore the things that often pull us apart about faith, as well as the beliefs that bind us together: God, heaven, doubt, sacrifice, and love.
Meanwhile, closer to his current home, Albom befriends a Detroit pastor who preaches to the poor in a decaying church. Moving between their worlds, Christian and Jewish, African-American and white, impoverished and well-to-do, Albom observes how these very different men both employ faith in fighting for survival. In the end, Albom finally understands what both men had been teaching all along: the profound comfort of believing in something bigger than yourself. Book signing to follow.

2009 photos: Equipment this year: I was using mostly 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: (1) quick jaunt to Niagara Falls, (2) quick jaunt to New York City, (3) the Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Gettysburg, (4) out west for the San Diego Comic-Con and various places, and (5) the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Springfield IL .
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.
Photos taken this year: 417,000 (over 1.5 million since I went digital back in 2002).
User page views this year: 22,700 (almost identical to last year -- definitely not an ego stroke!).
