Description of Pictures: The Lincoln Group of the District of Columbia held its Bicentennial Birthday Celebration for President Abraham Lincoln at the Willard Hotel. Invited speakers were The Honorable George S. McGovern (Senator, Author, Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient.) and Dr. Craig L. Symonds (Historian, Author, Professor Emeritus, U.S. Naval Academy).
Because I took so many, pictures from this event are divided onto two pages:
Pictures of the dinner (excluding the presentation on the podium) Pictures of the presentation on the podium
Slide Show: Want to see the pictures as a slide show?

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!).
