Birds
My little totem bird is flying circles.
The city is full with it.
Calling me. To follow.
Summer has arrived, time to go home, it seems to whistle.
Soon I will. Open wings and fly. J

The world is yellow?
Israel is going crazy because their favorite basetball team has won.
Really sadly it hurts to me.
I left my friends in West Bank, I could leave easily, for them it is impossible, the borders are closed.
Because of a basketball game...
My parents always teached me that my freedom reaches untill it starts to limit the freedom of others.
This victory tastes a little bitter for that reason.
(And I really don't want to hurt people by saying it, but it is just what I feel.)

This is a quote of the first little snowbloggers writing to eachother.
It works. They are starting to communicate with eachother in the way I expected them to do.
Like all experiences with Photoblog predicted, the children do indeed the same.
Moreover they are learning to excercise their English on top of it.
Today I really had an amazing teaching day, with ups and downs.
But definitely worth it.

Final Exhibition Bezalel
©Ine D.
The silence is probably heavy for those at home...
But the activities very busy. (So busy that most of the time I don't seem to see my bed before 2 am and otherwise than before, I am up really early.)
This is the result of my Camera Obscura experiment.
It is working!!!
(FYI, this is an image from outside projected on the inside wall of my studio, through a little hole in the wall)
Thank you, Henk, for the precise explanation and measurements.
I owe you one, and when back in Belgium, you may count on that.
A belgian beer in a nice cafe it will be :)
For those at home: take a flight to visit the exhibition here. Tel Aviv will be alive and kicking in the end of May.

Dissapeared
I dissapeared. Somebody is whispering it through my email.
I am indeed silent. but yet not.
A life not lived in the internet is going full speed.
Last week I was finally at Yasser's place.
Although very busy it was enlightening.
Gulud got married.
Unlike our marriages this has a total different atmosphere.
Here one gets married and therefore leaves the house he has been living in during all his life.
Not so easy as we perceive it.
Truly interesting and showing what family can be about...
Gulud, success.

Thiefs...
I dont have so much in this world
I managed to reduce my luggage to a (still huge) 30kilo.
Containing the most important stuff in my life:
A power book, extra disk space, a digital camera, old analogue ones for back up, lenses, an I pod for music for the soul and some more general stuff.
All of it fits my backpack. And makes me a light traveller, a modern globetrotter, a digital nomad.
But surely I dont wear it all the day
Yesterday they managed to break into the house.
Everything is stolen. The cameras. The computer. Everything what made me a digital nomad is gone (except luckily me, what was hanging on my back on the moment of theft)
It made me realize 2 things: a good insurance is opportune in this world (thank you KBC, and thank myself of thinking about these things in advance, so now the damage is still there but less huge
)
Secondly we can live a life that is based upon 30 kilo, and even if 15 kilo of that is stolen, the world moves on.
A remark: one hard disk (of the 2) was saved, they didnt see it. Both hard disks were bought to back up stuff, in copies, for if one crashed or one was stolen. My theory proved right.
All my pictures I took the last half a year are saved. (You dont realize how relieved I was to see that there was one left
)
Digital management of files in a main back up will become important.
Me, I am running to a hard store, to buy with my last money again a second hard disk, to copy everything.
And a bunch of dvds to burn this same amount of info. Because when its gone, its gone.
Nobody cares about your info when they steal your stuff, and it is in captured in your tools.
(None of the negatives taken was stolen
)
If this hard disk was gone, probably I was now crying
Months and months of work digital pictures for exhibitions and magazines- gone.
Lucky me, it is not
What hurt most? Not so much the money that is gone (I will get part of it back, but surely not everything...) What hurts is my analogue 85mm 1.8 lens that was stolen. And a little watch I bought in Lebanon. The first very old but expensive in value, the other as old but cheap.
Both irreplaceable, I will never find one of the two again
Yes, you can pity me.
But pity Sigal even more
All her cameras and computer are gone too, she is not insured.
Might be a strange request: but yes donations are welcome this time...
To enlighten the pain.
