Busy

I just made a quick snapshot in between at work. These days the phone keeps ringing with a variation on: "Hello, this is (CBS/BBS/Channel 2 etc), is Gershon Baskin available for an interview?"

Since the news has come through on the deal between Israel and Hamas for the exchange of Gilad Shalit (an Israeli soldier captured/kidnapped 5 years ago by Hamas) for Palestinian prisoners, things have been crazy at work. My boss mediated the deal through backchannels and now everybody wants his story. So, in between I took a picture of one of the television teams, I didn't have time for a good shot.
