Description of Pictures: Tattoos & Taboos with Ami James of Miami Ink:
For the tattoo-bearing and the tattoo-curious, Sixth & I presents an evening on the controversial topic of Jews getting inked. In light of the controversy as well as the prevalence of tattoos today, two tattooed Jews deeply involved in the world of body art will discuss their work as well as the myths, trends, and antipathy associated with Jewish body modification.
Ami James, an Israeli-born tattoo artist and star of the reality TV show Miami Ink, will speak with Todd Weinberger, Creative Director of Inked magazine, about cultural assumptions and attitudes within the Jewish community regarding tattoos and the way they reconcile their tattooed bodies with their Jewish identities, heritage, and beliefs.
The moderator for the event was Todd Weinberger, creative director of Inked Magazine.

This event is presented in partnership with Nextbook Inc., as part of Jewish Body Week - a series of events in New York City and elsewhere exploring the subjects raised in Melvin Konner's 2009 book, The Jewish Body. Nextbook Inc. is a nonprofit organization promoting Jewish culture through its public programs, its Jewish Encounters book series (including The Jewish Body) published by Nextbook Press/Schocken, and Tablet Magazine, Nextbook's new daily online publication.

2009 photos: Equipment this year: I was using mostly the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji. Trips this year: (1) quick jaunt to Niagara Falls, (2) quick jaunt to New York City, (3) the Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Gettysburg, (4) out west for the San Diego Comic-Con and various places, and (5) the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Springfield IL . Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. Photos taken this year: 417,000 (over 1.5 million since I went digital back in 2002). User page views this year: 22,700 (almost identical to last year -- definitely not an ego stroke!).
