traveling south, to the desert

portraits of yoga and meditation teaches in the Jerusalem mountains

portraits of teaches and students in a yoga course 

out in a village up in the Jerusalem mountains

they stayed there for a month, studying poses, theory and meditation

I came to create images of the day as well as some portraits for 

Publications. I loved the scenery, the light and the natural location.

But also in a harsch mid-day sun 

it was quit an experience.

nature and landscape

Nature has a healing power for me.
Landscape can be far away or very close, it doesn't matter.
The less human intervention I can record, the more I can regenerate.

It does not feel like a clichee to me. It's there, I feel lucky to press the shutter at the right moment, the right angle, the right light.

the ancient Napolean City of Acre

Acre (or Akko)was a strategic coastal link to the Levant. In crusader times it was known as St. John d'Acre after the Knights Hospitaller of St John order who had their headquarters there. Acre is the holiest city of the Bahá'í Faith

it has everything from an ancient harbour to local delicacies, 

old alleys and mosques and chilled cafes.

And of course, photo opportunities galore:

I worked with my 24-70mm Sigma Zoom 

and my wonderful 100mm Canon

which was fantastic with the food shots

all natural light of course
