Description of Pictures: Inside Media: Richard III: An Arab Tragedy:
Guests: Sulayman Al-Bassam, in collaboration with the Kennedy Center Arabesque Festival, and Karen DeYoung of The Washington Post
Are people in the East really different from those in the West?
Writer and director Sulayman Al-Bassam’s contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s Richard III explores issues such as tribal allegiances and internal power struggles in a modern Arab context.
Al-Bassam and Karen DeYoung, associate editor of The Washington Post, will discuss how Arabs are portrayed in the media and why the Bard’s stories work so well within a cultural context so seemingly far removed from their original setting.
The Newseum moderator was Sonya Gavankar.

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!).
