– JONO DAVID TV APPEARANCE: On April 1, 2010, I appeared on “In Montgomery County”, a local cable show on Access Montgomery TV 19 and TV 21 hosted by my spirited friend, Toby Beach. “It’s not the Today Show”, as Toby put it, but I had a lot of fun talking about my Jewish photo work nonetheless. It was good to be in front of the camera for a change too. The show was broadcast on Comcast Channel 21 in Montgomery County, Maryland (USA), Wednesday, May 5th, 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, May, 8th, 3:30 p.m. (and will likely be aired again on other dates thereafter). The show also aired on Verizon and RCN local cable channels. View the full interview (28 minutes; part 1, part 2, part 3). If you don’t have that much time to spare, check out a few SCREEN SHOTS from the show.
