laborated on the exhibit design. 
Focused on what he defines as “cool” efforts in the 
metro area, Oshinsky extended experience he had 
gained working on portraits, concerts and events.
“I think one of the most dramatic pictures I took is 
of a music producer who goes by the name Dagger,
” 
Oshinsky said. “His hands are covering his face so you 
can just see his eyes and tattooed hands. Another dra-
matic picture is of a musician, Amp Fiddler, wearing 
a hat with the name of his deceased brother, who also 
was a musician.
“Some of these people hold other jobs to support 
themselves but have spent the pandemic making music 
or art or just relaxing, and I was taking snapshots of 
them during this important time.
”
The photographer, who had his bar mitzvah at 
Temple Shir Shalom, has included images of three peo-
ple in the Jewish community — video producer-direc-
tor Sam Silverstein, DJ Rebecca Goldberg and musician 
Jonah Grey.
“When I went to college, I played four years of base-
ball while Anna encouraged me to try something else,
” 
Oshinsky recalled. “She stressed that I wasn’
t going to 
be able to play baseball forever and suggested photog-
raphy. She’
s a photographer as well and thought it was 
for me.
”
Oshinsky took pictures for the college newspaper 
and launched his portfolio. During the rigors of the 

pandemic, he considers photography a healthy way to 
spend his time.
“
Anna is in grad school for addiction counseling, 
and she’
s a mental health advocate,
” he said. “She uses 
art as a way of coping with anxieties. By giving me the 
knowledge and the skills to create when things aren’
t 
going the right way, she definitely has been helpful. 
I’
ve learned from her.
