 These are a few images of three very talented local Toronto musicians who contributed their time and talent to Drum Artz' Fundraiser a few weeks ago. As well as being fantastic musicians, they are also really awesome individuals. I tried to capture the emotion of performance in a few different ways here. Enjoy!

Cherry Blossoms at High Park

I love photographing the Cherry blossoms at high park this time a year. Gili and I headed there on Saturday afternoon, and the park was packed with people, including many Asians (with some Japanese women in traditional dress) and the highest concentration of photographers I have ever seen. you only have a few days left to enjoy the cherry blossoms, so head out there!

Drum Artz Gallery Fundraiser

These images are going to be up on display and for sale at Drum Artz' Gallery Fundraiser event on Wednesday May 6th. It is going to be a fun evening and I would like to encourage you all to come.

Last summer I facilitated a photography workshop for the children and youth who attended the organization's summer camp. If you come to the fundraiser, you will be able to admire and purchase some of the amazing images taken by participants:

I hope you can all come and support this great organization!

Three Photos from the Beach

These three images are from the same beach in the city of Natanya. I took them all while siting comfortably on a reclining beach chair, enjoying the sun and a cup of coffee. This might not say much about my artistic integrity but I hope you like these anyway.

Israel - Panoramas

Tel Aviv

Jerusalem

Judean Desert

Amirim

Here are a few panoramic images I took while in Israel.
They are typically stitched from 6-8 shots, and are 5 feet in width (about a foot across) They are very rich in detail when examined closely, which may not be possible on a computer screen.

Dead Sea - Stones

Here are a few images of the Dead Sea that I took on our trip to Israel. I will post more images from the trip in the next few days. I hope you like them.
