Sad story_Tulah and my Mom

So, here I'm adding , yet, another sappy story.
Images I took of Tulah in the apartment on Trumpeldor St. (Tel Aviv) ,where I grew up.
I took those photos in 2007, when I was there to empty the apartment after my Mom passed away. I asked Tulah to sit in a similar pose (in the kitchen) to the one that my Mom was in when I took her photos while she was bleaching her hair two years prior to that.
The unique furniture in the living room had to go, since I rented the apartment to other people that didn't care for it.

North of Israel_photos_hope for peace in The Middle East

Hi,
It is very sad that the violence erupted again between the Israelies and the Hamas in the Gaza Strip area. (I thought that there is a significant difference between the "Hezballah" and the "Hamas".)
Let's hope for peace in the next year, 2009 !!! Please !
Here are some photos from one of the trips I did to Israel with Tulah. This one was in the Summer of 2007. (It's in a slideshow form...with some music I used to listen to as a kid, growing up in Tel Aviv).
We were a few days in Tel Aviv, but then we headed North for 3 days: The Galilee, Kefar Nahum (The church), The Galilee lake, Safed (The center of the Kabbalah), Rosh Pina (used to be a "Hippie"...I mean"Spiritual" town back then, in my student days) , and more.
Enjoy !

5 years ago_Happy Holidays !

Hey,
I "stumbled" upon these pictures of myself in the old loft in Williamsburg (2003) where I had all these archival big prints on the walls (today they are "artist's proofs,,,usually edition of 7. The ones I took from the walls before I moved out would be the affordable prints).
Hey, hopefully it won't take me so long to show you what I have on my walls now, in my newer loft ( most of the new prints are framed now).
HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!!!!!!

Behind the scenes at the "Generation T: Beyond Fashion" photo shoot



This is the behind the scenes video of the photo shoot I did in mid November.
It was 4 days of fun in DUMBO, Bklyn, Melody Lanes Bowling Alley, and Chinatown in Manhattan, as well as in the studio. There are many location shots that I did with the models, and I'll be able to post those in February 2009

Mid-West trip




Still on my Mid-West photo trip.
Staying overnight in St. Louis, Missouri, enchanted by the view of the Gateway Arch...just a block away...celebrating the amazing night of history change with many other millions.
Here are just 3 images out of so many from my current trip.
Heading a bit more West tomorrow, to Kansas City.

Street pole dance_Cheerleaders and anti Palin dance

Last week I spotted a bunch of dancing acts around the city, and I wanted to share with you 3 of them:
One was a pole dance act on a small stage rigged to bicycle, and it happened on the corner of Bleecker and Lafayette. I was told that it has something to do with an upcoming TV show titled "Last Night" (?)
The other act that occurred at Deitch Projects on Grand St. was of of cheerleaders who were helping promoting the book of Danielle Levitt titled " We Are Experienced",
And the third one was an anti Sarah Palin dance performed in the Union Square Subway stop.
All very inspiring !
