yashicamat+velvia=yum

A test roll I shot with the yashicamat on velvia(50 or 100?) a couple of years ago.

View from my study in my parents room.Dusk. 1/2 - 1 second exposure


Abandoned Fire Truck - Beer Sheva

Not All TruckGo To Heaven - between Beer Sheva and Meytar

Fire Truck Depo Gate - Beer Sheva

Big square slides turn me on.

They are a bitch to scan - Shai Yochai helped me with PS to curve and color balance the last three.

I got a couple of new photo books in the last month:
Shim'on Korbman - "Different Tel Aviv 1919-1936"(I have his print at my parents house) and "Israeli Portraits" by Vardi Kahana.
Both are great - each in its own way.

Holy Sepulchre - again

I love photographing Jerusalem and this is my favorite spot.







Even being a non practicing non religious jew - the vibes inside this very christian place are very powerfull(in a positive way).

Was feeling sick since last night so I took a sick day to sleep it off. Slept a lot.

Bror Hayl is the kibbutz I went to meet Nir Dumany(in the picture with the rolleiflex).
He is one o the people who kindled my intrest in photography and the one to blame for my love of old cameras.

The pics were taken with his nikon f3 on TMAX 100 or 400 with 50/1.4 in the Kibbutz.
