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: 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…

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.
