  • Fifty-Two Frames: Women

    After attempting a lot of set-up shots that just didn’t work, I made a Hail Mary pass when, while juggling 3639846 things, I noticed Bebe standing at the window. <Click.> Week 28: Women After three years of working from home, I went back to an office this week. The week that war threatens my kids,…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Forced Perspective

    Learned something new this week – did not know there was a whole photographic genre called ‘forced perspective.’ Also had thought this type of stuff was cheesy, so I’m glad i got to go for emo here. And the reason I had actually been sighing at our future was this article. Week 20: Forced Perspective…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Movie Scene

    Clearly exhausted and at a 30% lower brain function than usual, I misread the theme this week – did not realize it was a ‘scene.’ So this is more of an icon. Of a creepy, beloved home invader. Week 18: Movie Scene “He should not be here when your mother is out!”

  • 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: 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.…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Self Protrait

    It’s a period when you’re never alone, your identity is not that of a single person. That makes it difficult to recognize yourself and be yourself – for a limited time. There is another soul inside you, and even your most intimate moments are shared. You’re not who you were and you’ll never be who…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Themeless (and anonymous)

    Another year, another 52 frames captured on a themed basis week to week! I closed the year with a deeper thought. I love this quote; for over a decade I, too, mistakenly attributed it to Nelson Mandela; turns out he was quoting it from an author in one of his speeches. Here’s to another 52…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Out of Focus

    Week 51: Out of Focus First thing in the morning, I only have eyes for you.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Shadows

    Week 50: Shadows Making an impression. 

  • Snow in Tzur Hadassah: Who said this isn’t Switzerland? [PHOTOS]

    There’s this inside joke here… sometime a couple years ago they started hanging hopeful signs around garbage points in Tzur Hadassah: If no one made it dirty, this could be like Switzerland.  After four days of heavy snow, warm clothes, sledding, and beautiful views… Well, I’d have to say we came pretty freakin close for…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Music

    This is an example of a last minute idea that I actually am pretty happy with. It was a little awkward because I had to be my own model and hold the camera and use the forward-facing side so the picture is grainy, though I kinda think the graininess works with the topic. Another idea…
