SHPRING!

Stupid technology. Last night i sat down and wrote a post with all those photos here, clicked 'publish' but instead of doing so my comp showed me a nice 'fuck you' error.

Anyhow, the weather was surprisingly nice at the annual Purim masquerade. It usually rains and spoils it for the kids, but not this time. I shot a few frames of Ilford 400 but decided to derive benefit from the weather and therefore bought superia 100. The whole event was quite an amusement, mostly thanks to the innovative costumes of the teenage girls consisting of angel wings, tights, skirts that i've mistaken for belts and some fancy shoes with such a high heels you could commit suicide from.

male angels ain't wearing heels

althought there was so much pink around certain girls weren't too happy

and other girls had to carry stupid sticks with pink crap on top of them for hours!
what a traumatic holiday.

some had very seriois meetings

and some we're examining their sunflower seeds

Have i mentioned that the costumes were very innovative?

non masquarade day

Eyal designs bags for BIG groceries.

Inna and Gershon, the local cat

Bally, i hope from now on you'll be loving this tree;)

no focus in this one but i couldn't care less. i like it a lot.

yeah, i like to keep my portairs very minimalistic at times.

if you haven't recognized them already, bad for you, these are my grandparents.

(the graffiti 'art' on the background is disturbing indeed)

p.s
Suz, i promise to post some 'normal' bw photos next time ;)

TRI-X! finally!

so what did we have?

There were some end-of-semester projects presentations, so i had to stick my nose in.
This was from the fashion department.
Light was pretty damn bad and it was hard to focus, but i like the result.
This was a beautiful wedding dress (which obviously cannot be seen here) and the girl who designed it was inspired by some elemnts from her childhood in Paris.
Really beautiful and moving piece and some nice music playing along when the model was walking to the stage.
She got some well deserved comploments.
Yey to her!

(trix)

Guy in a typical pose

i was waiting for the bus to the lab. i think she's from the fashion department.hmm.

too bad that woman on the back was sitting directly in the sun, it was hard to pull out such shot.

disgusting yet photogenic birds were eating green bread.

I stopped close to him and started thinking of a way to take a photo without getting noticed.
I took out my cell phone but didn't use it eventually.
He wasn't paying attention at all,he was looking at something else.

after a moment we were both staring at this man crossing the noisy street, with his wheel chair, against traffic direction! I guess i'd be a lousy journalist for not shooting the accident his "safe" crossing caused. That Audi behind him got "kissed" by the Honda and then another car joined the celebration. Luckily no one got ingured, and this guy quietly continued rolling in his chair.

the lights of the soccer field near my house are very tempting

apparently it was raining some time ago,i don't remember when i took this one.

Bally and Yonatan were playing some game whose name i don't recall. After some time this game drives you crazy. There are red and white squers and you gotta take over the whole territory.
(great explanation,yes.if you need any explanations always address to me, please)

some very artistic scratches on the negative.

very serious business

o.k, both the painting and the yawning cat,which is real,are kinda scary from this angle.

Ah,this was on Valentines day aka my birthday. Some tri-x+2.
shouldn't have done that.Whatever.
The oh so photogenic Azrieli Towers.

some noice urban art

yes yes

decorations for valentine's day! awwww


no,not a secret agent, it's only a dummy in a shop window. Zivit is standing in the front but due to the fact that i'm retarted she's completely black.

Zivit's birthday is a week after mine (february is a busy birthdays month in general) so we were hanging in the morning, eating some bourekasim
there's nothinf in this frame, but i somehow like it.

in the evening we (the girls) were suposed to go to this nice irish pub, but since we came late it was too damn full already, so we had a cute 2 hours ride all over the place until we finally joined some other friends in the "usual" pub.
I had an oportunity to practice my fuel filling skills.
Thank you Zivachka for his frame! Start shooting film already damn it!

this is a reminder that drinking and shooting in dark pubs are bad combination.
Cheers!

:)

G'dnight!

revival

Holy crap, it's been ages since I've updated my blog.Poor abandoned blog...awwww.
So what was i so "busy" with during the past month of February?
First of all there was sort of semester break, during which i had to study for a History of Art exam which was so very gripping (NiGa,YoU're ConTangEous)...or NOT and also writing two essays about topics you really don't want to hear about.

My birthday was also one of the many other birthdays that had occured in february. It was both happy and sad birthday.My grandpa was hospitalised earlier that week due to a rock (don't know the medical term) in his gall bladder, so the general mood in our house was very tensed and super gloomy. When granpa called to wish me happt birthday it was the last straw. I just couldn't listen to his week and broken voice wishing me happiness and health...
Seriously,i'd never wish anyone to see their beloved ones in such pain as i whitnesed my gramps.
As much as i sometimes wanted to record the entire situation i didn't dare to rise my hand and grab the camera.It just didn't feel right, documenting his pain. Perhaps i made a few frames,but that was in those moments when he felt better.

As it comes to photos,hopefully there will be something to post in the upcoming days,some very hot tri-x hehe:)

And for now i'll just leave you with some "old" stuff from january and other stuff from...hmmm,wahtever,i don't remember. film used agfa apx 100 and 400.

the always oh so cheerful typography class

Liad, you have nothing to complain about anymore!

only those who were there will get this naughty action:p

Eyali!

some hot street stuff

reala 100 at night! mwahaha
i just don't give a shit about which film is loaded in the cam, i just shoot.even when knowing that the frame would eventually suck, but as you can see there are nice surprises sometimes .

Zivachka.
She's said something extremely amazing to me concerning this photo.
sorry,i won't tell you what it was.
but you might guess, if you're smart enough.
kidding.

the main attraction in the hole where i live in is the decorative park with the fat fish pool.

chess/checkers/backgammon players.
this squere,named "the piazza", which was their meeting place for years, is being ruined these days.
There will be brand new shiny road instead of it.
In the meanwhile these men play their game near the shop in the left corner of this frame.

some dog action

and that's me under the hair

(Рома, ну ты даешь! :)

indeed
