J Street
I documented the inaugural J Street conference in DC this week. J Street is the political arm of the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement. They had many members of Congress, the Obama Administration, the Knesset, and significant leaders of moderate Arab nations visit, support, sponsor, and speak to the 1500-plus crowd.
It was an energizing, positive success in galvanizing Jewish and other groups working to create an effective peaceful solution to the long sad conflict between Israeli Jews and their Palestinian neighbors.
These images are just a few of my personal impressions, and are included on the basis of visual integrity and preference, not politic nuances.
A sad handful of crackpot protesters outside the meeting had no effect on the proceedings whatsoever.
I pray this new coalition's voice resounds like a mighty shofar.
Peace. Shalom. Salaam. Pax.

The Klezmatics - in concert- new views
A few images from a concert on October 18, 2009 at the Clarice Smith Center of the University of Maryland. Amazing music and musicians.
I had a bit of fun with the images, working under some constraints imposed by the venue. A different way to channel and share energy.
Thanks to the whole band, filmmaker Erik Anjou and Professor Miriam Isaacs.

Flower photograph in my dresser drawer
I recently scanned this polaroid SX-70 picture, of flowers on an end table. I probably made it about 1978.
The flowers were from my garden I think. This little picture has been sitting in my dresser drawer for thirty or more years, under my socks, occasionally reminding and rewarding me of its graces.
