Travelogue: People of Myanmar, the Kayan and Kayah…

Neshama Sheli: Documenting Israel and the Palestinian territories
This is my ever-changing long-term photo essay about Israel and the Palestinian territories. A place so complex and beautiful at the same time. It isn’t always easy or straightforward to put into words but I have done my best to paint

5 Frames… With ILFORD HP5 PLUS (EI 1600 / 35mm format / FM2n)
The second day of sunshine… What bliss… It has been dark and grey for a couple of weeks. A huge contrast to the nice and warm temperatures of southern Vietnam where I had been.

5 Frames… With Kodak Tri-X 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Nikon FM2n)
