We're huge fans of B&H Photo and Video, the famous
camera shop run by Hasidic Jews in the center of Manhattan -- one of the best shops in the industry, frequented by photo nuts and Hollywood camerapeople. And today, this news is hitting the web: Somebody purchased a used camera there with a used memory card. On the card was a roll of photos taken behind the scenes of a friendly -- but notoriously publicity-shy -- operation.
Linhberg, who bought the camera, posted the photos on his blog. His site seems to be running slow, so here are a few, courtesy of PetaPixel, who

We speculate that it might be part of a covert campaign for the new
reboot of the science-fiction series
Little Fuzzy, which has also included
ukulele love songs and
stuffed animals. Because, well, Hasidim are little and fuzzy.
Hi there! Just found your blog and happened to stumble on this post. I'm a huge fan of B&H and about to post a piece on it myself. Glad it's getting the coverage and street cred it deserves! (The kosher candy by the register are the best.)

ReplyDeleteSend me your link when it's up! I'd love to check it out. Someone should seriously start a B&H fan fiction site.
