Last night at Hostage Square, I captured an image that would have been lost in color. The raw emptiness, the weight of the moment, the collective breath of a people holding space for those who aren't home yet.
In color, this would have been just another street scene. Strip away the distractions, and suddenly you feel the emptiness.

This is why I choose monochrome when the story demands it.

Some moments don't need color to speak. They need silence to scream.

Sometimes the best photography sessions happen when you're your own crew, director, and star.

Yesterday I took myself on a solo street photography adventure through Jerusalem, and it was exactly what my soul needed. Armed with my camera, GoPro, and DJI Osmo, I set out to capture the city AND document the process of teaching street photography - all while flying completely solo.

There's something liberating about photographing without a rigid agenda, without having to explain your vision, without waiting for anyone else's pace. Just you, the streets, and whatever stories unfold.

Here's the thing about being a one-person content creation team - you become incredibly resourceful. Setting up my GoPro and DJI Osmo to capture myself teaching street photography techniques live on location? Not the most graceful setup, but it worked (for the most part)!
Did I get the most polished storytelling content? Maybe not.
Did I capture some solid street shots? Absolutely.
Did I come home feeling creatively recharged and inspired? 100%.
The shots I captured tell their own stories, and the behind-the-scenes footage of a street photographer figuring it out solo? That's a story too.
Sometimes the best content comes from just showing up authentically. No big production team, no perfect lighting setup - just genuine passion for the craft and the willingness to document the process, even when you're working alone.
The shots I captured tell their own stories, and the behind-the-scenes footage of a street photographer figuring it out solo?
To my fellow creators: Don't let not having a crew stop you from creating. Some of the most authentic content happens when it's just you, your tools, and your passion.

Stay tuned for the full version - video and stills, on my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/ where we will explore real tips and ideas for when you go out to shoot street photography. (And check it out now for my latest videos on lighting, photo stories/essays, and a lot more).

Do you want to take nice photos? That's great. Or might you also want to create cohesive sets of images that tell a story?

If you want your photography to have a bit more meaning, go out with intention. Not to capture random nice shots, but to tell ONE cohesive story through 5-8 images (or more or less!). Think like a journalist, not just a photographer.

Ashkelon taught me something powerful about storytelling through photography. Just minutes apart, I found weathered inner-city streets filled with character and stories, then turned toward the Mediterranean to capture the coastal beauty. Same city. Completely different worlds. But, that is one of the powerful aspects of Asheklon that moved me so much.

It wasn't about finding the "pretty" spots. I do that sometimes as well. It was about understanding that every place has layers, contrasts, and complexity. The gritty neighborhoods aren't separate from the beautiful coastline - they're part of the same story.

So I set a challenge for you: Pick your city, your neighborhood, even your street. What story lives there that you've never noticed? Maybe it's the contrast between old and new, quiet and bustling, natural and urban. Maybe it's how different generations use the same spaces. Or maybe it is something totally different and personal to you.

I was getting some work done yesterday when my 13 year old grandson, Noam, asked me if I had time to do something with him.

Knowing my priorities, I said, of course. He had the idea to go to a local wellspring. Since he has been interested in photography, I decided, together with Noam, to make it a photographic outing as well as family time in nature.

Aside from my a7r3 and my film cameras (Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., 35 mm and (medium format)), we brought the AD 200 flash.

We would use the flash since we would be outdoors in the Mediterranean midday sun, and that causes lots of shadows.

So we did it all! We had quality time together.
saw beauty in nature,
and even went to a second maayan (wellspring) and got some great photos - Noam even took a photo of me that I love!

What a wonderful day - quality family time, joy, learning, nature, and photography.

After months of WhatsApp conversations with this lovely family from Dallas, their travel plans kept shifting (as well as the date of our portrait session) due to the ongoing situation, . But when they finally made it to Israel, we finally met!

We scheduled the session at the Tel Baruch Beach in North Tel Aviv for what turned into one heck of a fun session. Three generations, countless laughs, and great light that we also enhanced with some Godox lighting to make sure the shots facing the setting sun were not all silhouetted!

What was especially fun and energizing was that the parents were having a blast, almost more than the children!

There's something magical about capturing families at the beach - the relaxed energy, the natural movement, the way everyone just... breathes easier. No stuffy studio poses here, just real moments.

To this beautiful family who traveled so far to be together (from Dallas, Florida, South Africa, and even Tel Aviv!) - thank you for trusting me with these memories.

Color tells the story before words ever could.

In wedding photography, every hue carries meaning. The warm, golden light filtering through evokes one type of feeling. Cool blue shadows in quiet moments create space for reflection and anticipation.

When I photograph weddings, I'm not just documenting events. I aim to craft a visual narrative where color becomes the emotional language.

Each color choice serves the story. Desaturated tones for contemplative moments. Vibrant warmth for joyful celebrations. The interplay between light and shadow, warm and cool, creates emotional depth that resonates long after the day ends.

This is how color psychology transforms wedding photography from simple documentation into artistic storytelling. Every shade, every temperature, every saturation level contributes to the emotional journey of your wedding day.

I had planned to share wedding photos today, moments of joy I’m so proud of.

But not today.

Today we bury a young man from our town, bright, kind, full of promise, who was killed yesterday while fighting evil. Along with two others (and many in the recent past), his life was cut short far too soon.

This morning, our neighborhood lined the streets in silence as his family drove out.
No words, just presence. A gesture of love and respect.

Photography is how I live my life.
How I hold onto what matters.
How I honor and share.

Tomorrow I will post those wedding images—a celebration of love and the continuation of life.
But today, I share this.
In memory. In honor.
May his memory be a blessing.

I wish I did it more...take out my film cameras and shoot with them in the streets and in nature. There is so much going on; I have my Sony digital cameras, which are my workhorses, but I love my film cameras - one 35 mm and one Yashica medium format camera.

I want to shoot more with them. I just finished a 12-exposure roll and brought it to in Tel Aviv, and I just got the scans of Sony digital cameras, which are my workhorses, but I love my film cameras - one 35 mm and one Yashica medium format camera.

I'M IN LOVE WITH FILM. It's hard to believe that we ONLY used film when we shot events and everything else!

Tell me what you think. I just love film. I plan to do more of it (Yep, that's what I said last time!). Laura Yonk Kowalsky Naftali Condiotti .apel

Last week, I took my brother and sister-in-law, visiting from Chicago, down south to the development town of Sderot and to the Nova site.
It was important to them to see it for themselves.
To walk the ground, feel the quiet, and try to grasp the weight of what happened there.

We had an incredible guide, Jonty Blackman, an Israeli Tour Guide, who helped us understand not only the horrors of October 7th, but also the lives, dreams, and joy that had filled that place before it was torn apart.

I always find myself searching for images that tell a small part of the story.
Whenever I hold my camera in places like this, I try to do it with care.
To create images that hold space for the story, not just the scene;
that, maybe, just maybe, invite people to pause a little longer.

Photographs can't carry the whole truth, but they can remind us not to look away.

Remembering is the first step in rebuilding.

Last night I photographed a wedding that hit me in a way I didn't expect.

The groom is someone I coached in baseball almost 20 years ago. Watching him as a kid, then seeing him last night as a grown man marrying the woman he loves, was something special.

It's moments like these that remind me why I'm drawn to this work. Being trusted to document these stories, to be present for the big moments, to help everyone along during the journey of the event, and to capture the connections between people, that's what drives me.

Every event I shoot, I try to be fully there for the couple, to understand their story and tell it through my lens. But this one felt different because I got to witness a full-circle moment.
To see someone you watched grow up find their person and start their next chapter. That's the kind of story that stays with you long after you put the camera down.

This is why I do what I do.

Thank you to my assistants and , and to event planner of who made the night really flow so well; .marthan , my second shooter AND magnet guy, and to the bride and groom and their families, who made it so much fun to work and create art together.

P.S. I know I will have so many photos that I love, but I wanted to share my nachat and joy at the beginning of the editing process!

When love writes a second chapter
Two hearts that had known profound loss found each other and chose to believe in forever again.
Last week's celebration wasn't just a wedding—it was pure, radiant joy. Families embracing. Friends acting like family.
I've photographed hundreds of love stories, but this one moved me differently.
Because love doesn't follow rules.
Because second chances are sacred.
Because some stories are so beautiful, they demand to be told.

To my incredible couple, thank you for trusting me with your beginning. Your love story will forever be etched in my heart.
