Fruit of the Land - Erev Rosh Hashana 5770


I decided to take a walk and leave the computer and kitchen behind - to reflect and take in the beauty of this land,a s the new year dawns.
I hope we all have a wonderful year - full of health, deep joy, and connection to those we love.

Jerusalem - The City in the Summer of 2009








Jerusalem, the city at the center of the world, has an infinite array of images. Every season, no matter what time of day, nor where one finds oneself strolling - there is beauty, color, texture, life in all its varieties. I just love strolling around the city of Jerusalem with my camera.

Family Portraits














Recently, I have had the real pleasure of photographing some fun and photogenic families. Portraiture is special in that the photographer and subject are together for one purpose. This is in contrast to a family event, where the portraits can be just the opening part of the evening - and that often includes people coming late in a rush to get everything done before the event. The event is then hovering overhead as the family members and friends are tense about the evening and its various activities about to begin. In other words, the portrait session as part of a celebration is vital and wonderful but it is sandwiched in between so much. That is why I try to encourage families to have dedicated portrait sessions - less tension and rushing.
