David Fair, z'l

The world is a little less bright today, as I have learned of the passing of artist David Fair of the bands Half-Japanese, Coo Coo Rockin' Time and of the Shakemore festival family. His uniquely quirky humor, music, dance, jetstream of joy, great wit, bouncy energy and talent lit us all up. May his memory and good cheerful work be a blessing for all 

(I made all these photos of David at various Shakemore festivals).

Fierce, and beautiful.

KlezKanada 2024

I recently was photographer in residence at KlezKanada, in Quebec Province. It was a week of amazing music everywhere at all times, Yiddishkeit, long walks, late nights, beautiful scenery and beautiful souls.

Many thanks to Avia Moore and David Moss of KlezKanada for including me as part of the faculty, and to all the rest of the KlezKanada staff, volunteers, music-makers, new friends and old. A sheynem dank.
