Poland at Crossroads – Wall Street Journal

By David | Published May 21, 2010

While filming some final scenes of my documentary Scandal in Ivansk in Poland a couple weeks ago, I did this piece for the Wall Street Journal about the country after the tragic plane crash that killed their president, first lady and many other government officials and civilians. The original WSJ piece can be seen here:

Mea Shaarim, 2010

By David | Published March 19, 2010

An image from the series Mesamche Lev.

I learned a new word this week: “Schmeichl” (Smile!) It’s actually an old word in Yiddish. But spending time in Mea Shearim, Jerusalem’s ultra-orthodox neighborhood, it seems that Yiddish is alive and well. Photographing in Mea Shearim is like having a chance to go back in time to take pictures. This picture is from a fundraising series I began this week for Mesamche Lev, an organization that gives out 60,000 pairs of shoes in Mea Shearim for Passover. The only one who didn’t schmeichl was my son, Ya’ar, who we posed in the picture to show some “diversity”…I guess I need to teach him some Yiddish.
