The Man From Another Dimension
It was an early Tuesday morning, and I was sitting in a car with a friend of mine.
We were going over some papers for a project I had in mind.
While my friend had his eyes buried in the papers and text – mine started to wander outside.
Leaning on the wall outside was a pretty big security guard, who was staring into the distance.
Suddenly, out of nowhere a bunch of sparrows swarmed him, some landing on his head.
I hunched forward not really understanding what I was looking at.
He raised his head and opened his mouth slightly.
One of the sparrows carefully walked across his face and proceeded to eat something out of his
mouth.
When he was done, he flew away and another sparrow took his position- pecking ever so slightly at the mans mouth.
Essential Workers
During The 2020 Covid Pandemic, All work in Israel was halted.
During this time, the field of construction was deemed “Essential” and granted a special pass to continue
work.
The Yonnas crew, headed by the Brothers Hatab and Waleed Arrived each morning on site to continue
working.
Their crew is a tight knit team comprised of highly skilled men from various parts of Israel and the west
bank.
Some leave their homes and families at 3 AM to be able to arrive on site on time at 0700 AM.
The Fires of Elad
Thursday, The Eve of Lag Ba’omer, 2021.
“Lag BaOmer” - a day of Jewish celebration where tradition identifies it as the day on which the plague that killed Rabbi Akiva's 24,000 disciples came to an end. After a year of worldwide corona, it felt like this might be the celebration of our own plague ending somewhat in Israel.
A day earlier, the government put out a notice that due to severe heat and the risk of wildfires, this year it would be forbidden to make “Medorot” (large bonfires), they would be allowed only in very specific places.
A friend of mine tipped me off that while driving through the religious city of Elad, she saw that they were building the biggest fire pyres she had ever seen to celebrate the day.
The Jazz, The Amp, The Chicken.
One of the greatest aspects of my job is that I never know who I am going to meet next.
In my travels as a Portrait photographer, I’ve been lucky enough to photograph a diverse set of humans. From a cutting edge neuro researcher to inspiring blues musicians from the Mississippi. The CEO of Mobileye-the autonomous car company, to a pianist that builds his own piano effects. Ive shot the portrait of a Grammy winner, a bird whisperer, a craft beer brewer, a music video director, architects, and just people that have a lovely face and a kind heart.
