Jacob #1





When you have two Bar Mitzvahs the same day with the young men having the same name you have to be creative in your filing system...and blogging. So for the ease of all, Jacob #1 is the morning affair and Jacob #2 for the evening event.

Peter photographed Jacob #1. He did his usual masterful technical job, perfect exposures, great lighting, and an emphasis on the emotions and relationships in the family and at the party afterward. He communicated with the DJ and made sure all was ready for the Hora, where the celebrant and his family are jerked into the air on a chair by 4 husky males and are waltzed around the room rising and falling to the whims of the carriers. What is fun to see is the look of shock and wide-open mouth as the chair jerks into the air and the stomach stays where it was, on the floor. A man made air pocket, same unexpected feeling.
