I’ve been to this guy’s
expo about a year in a mental hospital wonderful.I talked to him and a press photog for 40 minutes or so. Played with the press photog’s x-pan II(I like a leica M2 more. I want one. Wanna sell me one?). Neato. He shoots BW film(tmaxdelta 400) for editorial work. He told me he pushes it for high contrast up to 1600. I am shooting a roll of tmax400@1600 now as an experiment.
The exhibition was shot with an EOS 5 on tri-x. All wet printed on ilford paper. Kobi is a darn nice guy and I hope he suceeds in his further projects. He is in the market for a leica now. I enjoyed talking to him so much I forgot to ask him to sign the book(stupid!stupid!stupid!). All the book proceedings go to the hospital.
Walked around and shot a couple of rolls with the nikon with the 50 and 28.Shot some people and graffiti.
I like Tel Aviv. People are such exhibitionists they like their photo taken. It’s not a struggle like here,people don’t ask for explanations,they understand your an amateur street photographer and will talk to you about it. Lots of beautiful girls(more then average beautiful-we are in Israel-we have good looking girls everywhere).I’ve seen 4-5 potentialy anorectic girls.
