My neighbour's Tree

We have an elderly Italian neighbour who spends most of her days tending to the vegetable garden in her back yard and mopping and watering her front lawn. Her property is immaculately clean and she takes great pride in it. She gets very excited every time we take Ori out, and screams (she is very hard of hearing) at him in Iatalian, trying to make him laugh. There is a tree in front of her house which may or may not be a cherry tree. Its flowers blossomed for a few days last week, and so I took the opportunity to take a few shots. Enjoy.

Eden

This is Eden and and his parents (and good friends) Rotem and Goshen. I did a fun photoshoot with them two weeks ago, and here are a few of the results. Enjoy!

Ori at Four Weeks

Here are a few shots I took of Ori when he was exactly four weeks old. He just barely started to smile then. Now he can already giggle and is much more playful and interactive, for longer periods of time.

Eylon

This is Eylon, my youngest brother. As you can see, the members of my family, immediate and extended, really enjoy posing in front of the camera.  Enjoy!

Ori

One of the benefits of being a dad is that you can subject your infant son to countless photo-shoots, without him knowing or caring about it one bit. It helped that Ori really enjoyed the warmth emanating from the strobe light that I pointed at him to get these shots. He was about two weeks old here. 

Blues

A few weeks ago I learned a neat trick for using the posterize function in photoshop. It seems to work better on images that are iconic in nature, such as these two. I really like the way the effect complements the simplicity of the images. I would love to hear your thoughts.
