  • Fifty-Two Frames: Abstract.

    I suppose this wasn’t 100% abstract photography, but as the concept of abstract photography comes to me as pretty abstract, I got lost in it. This was a product of last week’s cardboard box and toilet paper roll play time with the kids. Actually, some really cool photography is shooting through a paper roll with…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Adventure.

    On Friday, I was jogging and I noticed this little guy on the ground. There’s some kind of kindred spirit connection between me and snails. So to the confusion of the other runners/walkers, I stopped and bent down and started shooting with my phone – an HTC Desire (it’s all I had). It’s super exciting…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Candid/Shoot from the Hip.

    We had a good topic this week; the shame was, I wasn’t fully aware of it before the deadline was up. I mistakenly thought it was ‘street photography.’ And I wasn’t frequenting many crowded streets last week, so this was the closest I had. Turns it out, it worked out pretty well for what the…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Desolate.

    Twas the week before Passover, and all was too busy, …so I ended up forgetting to post that week’s Fifty-Frames photo. The theme embraced the calm before the storm, the serious quiet of Israeli streets – and supermarkets – before the big holiday family-size lock down. Week 14: Desolate. The calm before the chag.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Contrast.

    I got this at the very start of week 13. It was the Rami Levy in Beitar. …I had a dentist appointment scheduled for the next day. Week 13: Contrast. Probably more like irony… (and even the colors seemed to contrast).

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Birds.

    One of the most fun things for me about participating in the Fifty-Two Frames project is that every week, there’s some new minute aspect of life I get to focus on. Like birds. For instance – I never realized how loud birds are in my neighborhood. Because there are TONS of them on top of…

  • Portal into a parallel universe.

    Runners up for my Fifty-Two Frames submission this week. Don’t you ever want to drive straight through to the other side of whatever the hell it is?

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Vehicles

    It hasn’t been my week regarding vehicles. Perhaps that’s precisely why this week’s Fifty-Two Frames theme is appropriate. Week 11: Vehicles A small boy’s paradise. Taken on Friday in Mitzpe Netufa, Northern Israel.

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Silhouette.

    This week’s photo is inspired by the work-from-home blues. It’s been over six months since I started as a WAHM, as they say. (Wham! You now work the double-shift at LIFE!) With the help of my biggest window’s soragim, and a bird as free as a Facebook account, my representation of this week’s photographic theme……

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Portrait of a Stranger.

    My latest family-abroad visit is coming to an end. It gets harder to leave every time. For this week’s photo, I submitted a shot I took when visiting the 9/11 memorial on Ground Zero in New York City. Thousands of strangers. Thousands of names. No one to ask whether I could take their picture… Just…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Dirty.

    Visiting my hometown this week: Staten Island. Need I say more? So much opportunity: the landfill, the sanitation building, New Jersey, the beach, American cash, the natives, the tanning salons… But I ran out of time and good weather. Week 8: Dirty There was a Snooki the day before, but I messed up and forgot…

  • Fifty-Two Frames: Color.

    Photography-wise, I decided to take the project seriously this week. So I dug out a lil something from a past life – make up – and braved the windy mirpeset to get some sunlight last Friday. P.S. How appropriate that I ended up having this conversation during Color week? Week 7: Color
