quote-of-the-moment
I would be glad to know which is worst: to be ravished a hundred time by pirates, to have one buttock cut off, to run the gauntlet among the Bulgarians, to be whipped and hanged at an auto-da-fe, to be dissected, to be chained to an oar in a galley; and, in short, to experience all the miseries through which every one of us hath passed, or to remain here doing nothing?

-- Voltaire, Candide

wedded bliss
joshua at Tuesday 1 October 15.56

Some photos I took of Lee & Nika’s wedding. They’re scans of prints and pretty blocked up, but there it is.


Israel: favorite photograph
joshua at Monday 22 April 1.25

I didn’t shoot much in Israel. It was difficult; the tension was palpable and I was reluctant to draw even more attention by pulling out a very expensive camera. This has taught me a few key lessons about travel photography - but I digress.

This is my favorite of the shots. The little boy is one of a handful of Arab kids terrorizing the streets on their bicycles or scooters, bombing down the alleyways, narrowly missing pedestrians, hollering, and in general being children. I shot this photo of an Arab boy looking into a blocked-off Jewish street as he blurs by. I like the minimal color and the transitory feel to the image of the boy.
