Fifty-Two Frames: Night
It’s been a rough few months for me. In my head. When Purim came I knew it was time to get out of it. So begins the March-April-May roller coaster of Israeli holiday life. And festivities. And sunshine. Not like there’s always that choice, but here I am. Time to get up. Week 9: Night…

Fifty-Two Frames: Minimalist
Yes, I love my bug close-ups. This ladybug was a trooper, and by the end a mangled trooper, while crawling up and down our arms during our nature walk last week. I’m sure it had hoped for a more minimalist morning. Week 8: Minimalist All you need on a sunny day.

Fifty-Two Frames: Love
After a mock wedding at kindergarten where my son was the groom, we all met up at the library afterwards and he ran off with the flower girl… Week 7: Love sneak a hug.

Fifty-Two Frames: Levitation/Mid-air
This was a tough week for me. Not as much photographically as philosophically. What is photography for you? Is it life observation or is it digital art? Is it both? What counts, what’s ‘cheating’? We know it’s all subjective, but is it all artificial? Is cropping/positioning the same caliber of ‘editing’ as shifting objects around…

Fifty-Two Frames: Panning
Challenging week. I actually submitted a flaky photo – a blurry pan with pancakes – just for the sake of submitting something (I’ve never missed a week!) but in the last few hours I was lucky to ‘run’ into this opportunity… Week 5: Panning Winner gets pan…cakes.

Fifty-Two Frames: Tell a Story
Did you know? Romeo & Juliet are frozen in time, trapped in a cave on the Israeli hillside. There’s an inside joke in my family: got visitors coming from abroad? Take ’em to the stalactite cave. Ok, it’s not funny. But we find ourselves at this fascinating, nerdy, science-ridden cave of wonders once a year…

Fifty-Two Frames: Silhouette/Backlit
Not so happy with my pic this week. I tried a few backlit options, but I don’t think I actually understood the concept until right before the deadline. It’s hard to do this with a (albeit fancy) camera phone. Week 3: Silhouette/Backlit Caged suburbia.

Fifty-Two Frames: Break the Rules
Kinda like the side of the highway, where I walk in the mornings and find leftover snow to step in, for just a second, while no one’s watching – my 52 Frames photo this week is one last photographic taste of the good white stuff. Except more like street-lit at nighttime yellowish stuff. I debated…

Fifty-Two Frames: Rule of Thirds
Another year, another photography term learned. The rule of thirds seemed obvious to me but maybe that says something about how naturally it works? I don’t think too hard about the rules which is why it’s fitting we’re meant to break them for next week. This is a funky park bench I spotted around Tzur…

Fifty-Two Frames: Self-Portrait
First off, I started participating in Fifty-Two Frames exactly 52 weeks ago, January 2012, and this week I completed it, in time for a new round called 2013. Secondly, this week’s theme was a good one. It had the potential to be awkward, narcissistic, lame, or reflective. Sighofrelief it became the latter. This week I was…

Fifty-Two Frames: From My Window
Week 51: From My Window Grows a garden.

Fifty-Two Frames: Opposite
I cherish that moment just before a small flame dies… If you catch it just at the right moment, you watch its last breath… and then it becomes a memory. I cannot say the same for people. Maybe that’s what makes the concept of an eternal flame so comforting. Week 50: Opposite One minute you’re…
