Creativity lesson 16 — Lying to ourselves??

The 52Frames frame photo for week 16 was ‘Fast shutter speed’. It was another one of those meh. challenges for me. I had no idea what to photograph and was not inspired at all by the challenge brief. So I just quickly took my photo and moved on as quickly…

Saying goodbye to my commute

I recently changed jobs and lost my daily 2 to 2.5 hour commute. Instead of waking up at 6 am every morning to catch a bus and a train into Tel Aviv, I wake up at 7 am and walk 10 minutes to my work place. I still keep an…

Week 51 - Minimalism is a verb

Week 51 - Minimalism is a verb 20 December, 2020 Black and white minimalism is probably the starkest photographic genre of them all. Not only have we stripped away all the colours in the photo, but we also have so few elements left to tell a story with. Although I…

My creative lesson 15: Asking different questions

12 April, 2020 This week I photographed the matzot because it was Passover and artists record what is right in front of them. Right? The idea to turn the matzot upright for a different angle shot was inspired by a talk I heard a few years ago. The speaker taught…

My creative lesson 5 — Capturing life

2 February, 2020 Throughout my 2020 52Frames journey, I tried to write about the lesson in creativity that I have learned that week. My aim was to combine the written lesson with the weekly photo taken. I managed to do this for about 40 of the 52 weeks. Being stuck…

My creative lesson 50 — Maybe I should be less obstinate..

13 December, 2020 I was looking forward to the texture challenge for a while. It is one of my most favorite topics and I also knew exactly what I was going to photograph. Lichen — of course! Lichen is one of my weird obsessions and I knew of a cool…

Creative lesson 14 - What is the point of anything?

5 April, 2020 A friend recently shared a piece that she had translated from Hebrew. The writer, Shmuel Munitz, was wondering if there is any point to sitting down and chatting with his grandmother because she will soon forget what he had told her. This made me think of all…

My creative lesson 24-The repetitiveness of life gives it depth and meaning

14 June, 2020 One cannot lift just one hand of sand and let it fall through your fingers. You are compelled to pick up another hand of sand and let it fall through your fingers. And another hand of sand. And another. Over and over again. There are so many…

My creative lesson of week 17 — Flying with the muse

26 April, 2020 I have been long enough part of the 52Frames project to experience some serious ups and downs. In a photographic way, of course 😁. There are weeks where you work hard, pay the price and get some pretty decent photos. Other weeks you also work hard but…
