Emanuel Hatzofe, sculptor

I met Emanuel  a couple of Times before on my cycling trips to the old Jaffa Port.

Early in the morning today, I came wit my cameras, a digital and my old medium Format Mamiyaflex.

We shared the first black Coffee of the day, a good conversation and various life lessons and ideas.

I started pointing my cams at him while the conversation went on. 

Good talk, good guy, positive experience all and all. I'll be back

"um el arib - the mother of strangers" a street art project in Jaffa

I took part in a great  project this weekend.
in reaction to many changes happening in the urban environment of the old city of Jaffa,
 for the second year there was a call for artists to react to the theme of Jaffa, the city, the context the the urban change.
a week before I took my old 6x6 Mamiyaflex and shot 2 rolls of houses and portraits in Jaffa. link

the images were scanned and with almost no digital manipulation printed and attached to the walls of one of the houses in the street, where this took place.
On saturday there were many artists, and artists friends who came, exhibited, connected, discussed and partied with the local people to raise awareness.

It really appealed to me the easiness of this sort of exhibit in contrast to going through the tidious process of galleries and museums.

here are my works - as I presented them:
