Telaviv 2023 - living in the constant building and rebuilding. (ser...

Hello there. Long time no see. And also today I forced myself to go to my PC, to review to images and edit some for this post. As well, the writing of this post was not too proactive. I publish my work much less these days. Even I'm taking images in the usual manner - 50/50 film and digital, developing my analog stuff every weekend. But all this is just the underwater part of the iceberg. If not to do something with all these images - this huge part of the activity will stay invisible, not really exciting, well exciting for me only.

But maybe that is just already enough. Like the pre-internet days. When people are photographed and printed on paper. No Flicker, no DeviantArt, no photo sharing, no contests, no challenges, and no likes, no curation, attention, and author payouts. The last ones are especially annoying due to the very personal taste of the curators. But this is absolutely another story unrelated to photography and to the iceberg.

My post today is about living in the middle of a constant building and rebuilding site. Welcome to the city, where I'm working, walking, and parting, every single day. The city never will be finished in terms of abrupt changes. It is dependently young and definitely never sleeping, never stopping, never done its "restoration".

I spent this morning walking with my younger son. We had a very nice walk with the analog cameras. Film photography is very slow in terms of clicking. Especially for my son - he is new to this media and composing and metering his frames moderately and unhurriedly. Exactly why we use these old-fashioned cameras, unforgiving even the slightest mistake.

During the walk, I put my attention on the mountains of construction garbage, regular garbage, number of builds and rebuilds. These scenes made me crazy. Thanks to the holiday - the city was empty, as well these construction sites were silent.

I hope to bring something more pleasing to the eyes next time.
