Here in the Myerson Photo family, we had a fun little 15 minutes of fame recently. My son and occasional model Jonah appeared on a front page ad in the Albany (NY) Jewish World newspaper. It was a half-page, below the fold ad from the newspaper publishers, wishing the subscribers a happy Hanukkah. The photo they used was this one, from my stock photography library:

Dreidl Boy

My parents got their copy of the paper, totally unaware that Jonah was going to be on the front page. Proud grandparents that they are, they emailed the editors and thanked them for using the picture, explaining that the youngster was not just a cute model, but also their adorable grandson. One of the editors got back in touch with them and conducted a short interview for an upcoming story on the local connection to the photo. He and I also spoke briefly. He asked me about that photo, about my stock photography in general, and he asked if I could get a shot of Jonah looking at the newspaper. I sent him this and a few other photos:
