i found these two olive trees near my first apartment in my wandering - in Baka. They struck me the first time i saw them - the way they are growing together - two separate entities creating a veru litteral ad real connection. i could go deeper than that, but i won't. my friends Avi and Rachel are both living in Jerusalem for the next few weeks and I wanted a couple to humor me and do a shoot with me. they happily abided. damn are they cute, no? I haven't done any editing really, but here are some of my favorites with a bonus round of rachel and i. things are good in jerusalem, for me. went out last night to a hooka bar and ended up chilling with a bunch of friends and other assorted people. sleeping at rachels for one night and another friend for another...i am homeless for another few days and couch surfing but i am having fun and managing to get my work done in the meantime so alls well.
as a side note, later in the day yesterday, when i took the photos, avi proposed to rachel and the are engaged. i felt like my heart expanded and then exploded with joy when they told me when i rejoined them in the evening at the bar. i was quite the water works. knowing how important yesterday was for them, these pictures take on a whole ne meaning. congratulations, mazal tov, you two wonderful wonderful people. (by the way, i get to have a glorious shabbat dinner with them two beaming lucky ducks:)
enjoy, and feel free to let me know what you think of the composition of the photos.
much love.
