Curious Junior: A Snapshot of Meir Haltovsky

Hi Meir! Why did you become a photographer? That’s a good question with a long answer. In brief when I was ten years old I received a camera for an afikomen present from my parents. I enjoyed it a lot and quickly became the photographer for my friends and family. Once I was outside the building where Rav Shach used to live and I managed to snap pictures of him. When I had the film developed — that’s how it was done back then — I thought WOW. It was exciting to capture him like that. I realized it was a talent I wanted to polish so I eventually studied photography in school and became a photographer.
