Jaffa from Charles Clore beach

Surfers on Charles Clore beach, just south of the Jaffa Old City. גולשים בחוף צ’רלס קלור, קצת דרומה מעיר העתיקה של יפו.

cities and eyes

A few more photos from the disposable camera project. I like the way these turned out – not sharp, slightly hazy. They feel more photographlike. I also liked that there was a limited number of pictures on the roll, and that once one was taken there was no way to see how it turned out. You took the photo, then it was over. It was somehow liberating.

I am going to take a break now for a while. I have been thinking of doing this for a while. I need to think about new projects.

I took part in a photography project created by a London based photographer, Mayah Parmenter. You can read more about the project here on Mayah’s blog. Basically, Mayah is sending disposable cameras to people around the world and asking them to take photos of their city or town.
