  • Fifty-Two Frames: Balance

    Caught this shot early on in the week, and then even went back to take a better version on a clearer day. I was debating whether it was actually photographic balance – the idea was the light in the top left would offset the character in the bottom right. Of course, bottom right is way…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Home

    Week 11: Home Come on in.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Hidden Objects

    Did something I don’t normally let myself do… heavily filtered because I just couldn’t find the right balance/tone I was looking for. I think it came out pretty cool though. So what do these words mean to you? Week 10: Hidden Objects Hidden meaning.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: On My Plate

    My caption lies, I think. Are these edible? You can eat them, sure. But… well, they do make a nice photographic prop. Week 9: On My Plate Edible.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Action

    Pardon me while I totally have a week where I need to submit for the sake of continuity… Action is tough. At least my subjects had fun. Week 8: Action A theme that is a win-win for all involved…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Reflecting

    Last week I put in over two hours experimenting with reflection photography advice I found here. After vigorously cleaning a giant mirror, setting up a black sheet tent, trying out different ‘subjects’, using Lego pieces to hold up the photos, taking 38258276245 photos to come up with the right angle… I think I learned a…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Five Senses

    Oops; assuming it was open to all senses, I was going for ‘sense of humor.’ But perhaps ‘hearing’ works too. Week 6: Five Senses “The secret to humor is surprise.” — Aristotle

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Outside your comfort zone

    In the past week, I’ve found myself outside my comfort zone many many times. Chasing down an older Russian woman at the light rail stop to offer her my ticket I hadn’t used… To take it literally…feeling the effects of third trimester pregnancy, namely back pain… Considering some changes to my professional life… …to name…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Greetings from…

    Week 4: Greetings from… Greetings from… Tzur Hadassah!  We’re a small (but growing!), diverse, open town in the Judean Hills, Israel. The population includes 96% humans, 3% canines, and… 1% horses.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Black and White

    I really liked this guy. I’m told the focus on the face wasn’t good enough but I’m not seeing it. What do you think? Week 3: Black and White Smirk.  

  • Fifty-Two Frames: In the beginning

    I’m not one for cheesy Zionism, but with my aliyah anniversary passing a week ago, and Ariel Sharon passing yesterday, and my submission down to the wire at 5:45pm, I decided, why not. This would be the week for that. I had spotted this scene every day and neglected to take a photo until Thursday.…

  • If rocks could speak

    The Lorax said nothing. Just gave me a glance… just gave me a very sad, sad backward glance… as he lifted himself by the seat of his pants.  – The Lorax by Dr. Seuss They tore down one of my favorite Tzur Hadassah forests and the only thing left standing doesn’t give a…
