  • Fifty-Two Frames: Waste

    This week I learned I don’t like the word ‘waste.’ Week 49: Waste Where Nature’s throwaway meets the man-made Underworld.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Home

    Where I spent a bit too much time last week. Where I’m trying to get over this damn virus. Where I’m lucky to wake up every day. Week 48: Home Lived-in. 

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Emotion

    After an inspiration-less and stressful week, I had nothing to submit on Sunday morning. Then I accidentally dropped and cracked the last egg in the house. Then… Week 47: Emotion Don’t cry.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Flash

    On the way out, I snapped a picture of the row of military helicopters (too hard to see I realize now; maybe it’s for the best). A surreal hour later, we heard about the targeted Jabari killing. Week 46: Flash And in a sun-covered flash, they were gone.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Up/Down

    Learned: parks are a great place to capture the Up/Down theme. There are many others on the cutting room floor (that may have been even better; not totally happy with the sun there but who am I to argue with the sun?). Week 45: Up/Down Boy goes up, sun comes down.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Repetition (Repetition)

    Caught this coming off the train in Savidor Merkaz in Tel Aviv. It reminded me of coming off the 10x express bus in Staten Island and walking across the overpass, mesmerized by evening expressway traffic. A common scene that could have been repeated anywhere in the world. Week 44: Repetition (Repetition) Reason #92758947626 to work from…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Curves

    Reunited with an old recreation, up in Haifa this week. The beckoning, sensual nature of the hookah’s shape always seemed to directly reflected the possibilities it offered. Week 43: Curves “A figure with curves always offers a lot of interesting angles.” – old school film director Wesley Ruggles

  • Fifty-Two Frames: An every day object from a different perspective

    I almost went with overflowing laundry, but how different would that be, anyway? Week 42: An every day object from a different perspective Work, from a bug’s eye view.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Running

    The theme was running last week, and what I really wanted was to capture another snail and caption it, ‘sorry buddy, as usual, I’m running a little late.’ But alas, no rain, no snails, and my next choice was to capture my own training for the Nike Night Run in Tel Aviv October 30th. It’s a…

  • New statue alert: Dove love spotted in Tzur Hadassah

    Watch out, Hitchcock. We’ve got birds up in this piece. Or peace? Looks like Tzur Hadassah got another new art installation last week, right near the western entrance and the entrance to Har Kitron. With so many artists and sculptors and painters in town, feels pretty lucky to get prettied up once in a while. International sculptor…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Bible

    It’s amazing how much Bible exists around us when you’ve got the Book on the back of your mind… And, oh, you live in ‘the holy land.’ The holiday season… The fields of our forefathers… A trip to the Kinneret… The annual celebration of torah… Rows of pomegranate trees .. Attending a brit milah… Teaching ‘In…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Inanimate.

    Two clown princes after my heart. What’s a citizen abroad to do? Until I decide how to cast my (let’s face it) totally symbolic vote, I’m going to fantasize about all the names I may write in. Week 39: Inanimate In-animate: Me, when posed with this question. Alternatively, the options fail to  animate, move or…
