Jason Eskenazi grew up in Queens and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and American Literature at Queens College, The City University of New York – his being the photo-editor of the Queens College Yearbook was an intimation of the professional choice that was to follow! Eskenazi remarks: “The fall of the Berlin wall led me out of Queens into the larger world. After trips to Germany and Romania for their first democratic elections, I traveled to Russia in 1991, just before the August coup that marked the end of the USSR, and have returned many times since…”
