Djerba, an island off the southeastern coast of Tunisia, is home to one of North Africa's only thriving (albeit small) Jewish communities. Roughly 1200 Jews live there, running Jewish schools, synagogues, and Kosher restaurants. Alit Sabban (pictured) and Hanna Sabban plan on turning this rundown building into a new school for their students — the two currently run a primary school for girls in a series of disconnected, borrowed spaces (one is a residential garage) and badly need a new home.

I did a lot of panning in NYC, much to the chagrin of Megan and Damian. Panning is one of those techniques that takes time and patience. Asking people to stand on a street corner in frigid December temperatures is asking a lot, even if I was supposed to be working.
I was lucky to have Jahrensy and Damian along for the ride on this NYC adventure. See what they have to say about it.

Thanks to my friend Greg I was able to get hired on the spot to cover this event minutes before it was supposed to begin.

New York Palace Hotel, New York City, New York, USA.
New York City knows how to dress a tree. Plenty of the snappier hotels get in on the festivities, too, like the New York Palace. Thus exists the perfect opportunity to snap off a 2010 Christmas Card with little or no effort. If I knew how to put together one of those snazzy triptych frames I'd be all set for the next ten holiday seasons.
Anyway, this is me wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Flash Parker Beat Laboratory.
I shot down to NYC on assignment and was lucky to have Jahrensy and Damian along for the ride. NYC seems as familiar as any place I've ever been and bursting at the seems with good times. More to come.
GEEK:
This is the debut of a new preset I like to call NYPD Blues. You'll be seeing plenty of this, I'm sure.
