| Introduction | My first love of photography came when I was 25, with the processing trays of chemicals in the dark room. I carried my camera everywhere taking hundreds of photos...still do. To capture the memory moment in the making is what I'm looking for. Since those early years, I have covered the war in Beirut Lebanon in 1982, the first ever reunion of Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem in 1983, photographed Avital Sharansky on the tarmack upon her arrival in Israel in the 80s, filmed on location in 4 Nazi death camps, shot photos of hundreds of Russian Jews coming to Israel on a hired ship in a pilot program, covered the first Palestinian bus bombings in Israel, survived a homocide bus bombing in 2003, and I'm still going stronger than ever...There's a story to tell today from Jerusalem. I've got my Nikon packed and ready... |
