"HUM!!!"

Z'eelim - Negev - Israel - October 2007

@ ISO 400, f/4

We were on our way to visit The Besor National park, when we saw at the sides of one of the junction an Ostrich farm. "Hey, why not go and photograph some Ostrich??" we asked ourselves and quickly we parked the car at the side of the road and went to "play" with the Ostrich. This is one of the "games" we played, this Ostrich was dangerously close to my lens circular polarizer, and even though I pressed to get as close as possible, I was also afraid for my equipment...turned out it was worth the effort and risk!

"The Look"

The Old City - Jerusalem - Israel - September 2007

@ ISO 800, f/4

These old stones has something in them that attracts you back in time to past of times - maybe it's just the texture or maybe the hundreds and if not thousands of years that are part of the stones. And maybe it's the passer by that add to the European atmosphere that welcomes you once you enter the gates of the old city.

"Waiting"

Tel Aviv - Israel - August 2007

@ ISO 400, f/4

The moment of reunion. Yuval, in his best of clothes at his best of day, waits for the bride, Inbal, to come down with it's eyes fixed on the staircase. At those moments you start to realize some of the tension that was built slowly over the past months and exlplode in couple of minutes. And this is the only the start, for the ceromony is just 5 hours from now...

Mazal Tov Yuval and Inbal!

"Watch out!"

I am working in a biotech company in Israel, and last month Jorge Rodriguez came for a two-months visit from the states. Aside from working in the company, we found the time to take him to all kinds of places in Israel. In once instance, I took him to Old Jaffa, which he loved (and also I got totally soaken wet by a wave while walking on a wave breaker...).
We had some serious laughs...
This is one souvenir of his visit here...
