The official pictures from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.
The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.
The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.
Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

This statue of Benjamin Franklin, designed by sculptor John J. Boyle in 1899, was originally given tho the City of Philadelphia in 1899 by Justus C. Strawbridg, and donated to the University of Pennsylvania in 1938, and relocated to its current spot in Blanche Levy Park, between Spruce and Locust Streets and 34th and 36th Streets on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. Boyle based his renderings of Franklin on a bust by Jean Antonine Houdon, and his clothing was derived from the Duplessis portrait. The state was initially installed in front of the post office at 9th and Chestnut Streets before being donated to the university that Franklin helped to found, where it was set on top of a pedestal designed by Frank Miles Day.
The University of Pennsylvania, commonly referenced as Penn or UPenn, is a private Ivy League research university. It is one of nine colonial colleges, established in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin, who first convened the board of trustees in 1749, arguably making it the fifth-oldest institution of higher learning in the country. The current core comps covers 299 acres in a contiguous area of West Philadelphia's University City, with the older heart comprising the University of Pennsylvania Campus Historic District. The university currently has four undergraduate schools serving approximately 10,000 students and 12 graduate and professional schools, serving another approximately 13,000 students.

We went to Vegas for my cousin Katie's wedding and hung out at The Venetian and Madame Tussauds wax museum while we were there.

Look how big he is getting, and how healthy!
UPDATE: On June 20th, 2010 my precious Ben lost his battle. He had kidney problems that weren't noticeable until it was too late. He passed peacefully in my arms, I felt his last breath and heartbeat... and it crushed me.
He will be so, so, greatly missed. he was just 7 months old.

Still groggy after waking up early to shoot on my last day in Washington, DC, I was excited to come to the Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Avenue. I loved how the light was hitting this statue of Franklin and the phalanx of American flags behind him.
Merry Christmas to All! Have a Wonderful Year Ahead!!
