Tender,sometimes a song really pierces your heart

by


Life is riddled with tough choices

PJ Harvey-Memphis(Tribute to Jeff Buckley)
You breathing into my mouth
I’ll take it
I’ll take it for you

You wanna sing
Then sing it for me
You got something
Left to say

Untie me
We’re taking away
Unlikely
Out of time

When you still got
So much to say
I’ll write it
A song for you

But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You’re smiling

Oh what a way to go
I’m with you
I’m singing

You said
There’s a special place
And it’s scaring
The shit out of me

In Memphis
On Valentine’s day
You wrote it
In a letter to me

Well I wish I had given you more time
To say thank you
My beautiful friend

But sometimes you gotta send it away
To bring it
To bring it back again

You’ll always
Have open eyes
You’ll always
Have a special place

In Memphis
On Valentine’s day
Die suddenly
At a wonderful age
We’re ready
We’re ready to go
When you still got so much to say

Somehow I know
You drank and stole
Receiving just everything

But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You’re smiling

lazy feelin’

dont cut off the feet of people you like.
I still like the picture.

שם השיר : Mama, You Been On My Mind
מתוך : The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3
גרסה עברית: מותק, את אצלי בראש
מילים ולחן: בוב דילן
תרגום: שלומי שבן

אולי זה הצבע של השמש שדהה
ומכסה את הצומת בו אני עומד
או שאולי זה משהו באוויר או משהו אחר
אבל מותק את אצלי בראש
אני לא מחפש צרות אל תכעסי
אל תדאגי לא אתחנן
ולא אומר שלא אוכל לשכוח
ולא אזחל ולא אבכה ולא אסתיר ממך שכן
מותק את אצלי בראש
אפילו שמוחי הזוי ועולמי סגור וצר
איפה היית לא משנה לי
ולא מציף אותי בצער
גם לא אכפת לי איפה או עם מי תתעוררי מחר
רק שמותק את אצלי בראש
אני לא מבקש ממך לומר מילים כמו כן ולא אנא הביני
אין לי מקום לקרוא לך בוא לבוא
סתם התלחשתי עם עצמי
כאילו אין מי שיגיד לי
מותק את אצלי בראש
אז כשתתעוררי מחר יפה הביטי בראי
ולא אהיה שם לצידך ,לא אהיה קרוב אל תופתעי
רק אהיה סקרן אם את רואה אותך צלול כמו מי
שהיית אצלו בתוך הראש
שהיית אצלו בתוך הראש

early morning,serene.

Lena in the morning. Tonight she leaves to Moscow on family matters for a few days.She packs her bags as I type this.

Today I took a 6 hour photo walk with the very talented Allon Kira who just happens to be a darn nice guy,Moshik and Dvir from d-spot analogue photography forum. Shot several rolls of plus-x,tested the polaris lightmeter.I like it. I met Kobi Wolf in Jaffa ,(who I met at his exhibition about an year ago),and we talked for several minutes.He drooled over my leica. He did not remember my name but remembered the photos I took of him there and thanked me for them.I still feel like an idiot for not asking him to sign his book then. He leaves for Chad in a few days with his canon 1DMk2 which he says he hates but uses for asigments. He wet prints his own prints.

As I sat sadly by her side
At the window, through the glass
She stroked a kitten in her lap
And we watched the world as it fell past
Softly she spoke these words to me
And with brand new eyes, open wide
We pressed our faces to the glass
As I sat sadly by her side

She said, father, mother, sister, brother,
Uncle, aunt, nephew, niece,
Soldier, sailor, physician, labourer,
Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest
Earth and moon and sun and stars
Planets and comets with tails blazing
All are there forever falling
Falling lovely and amazing

Then she smiled and turned to me
And waited for me to reply
Her hair was falling down her shoulders
As I sat sadly by her side

+1.

I am a person who likes contrast in all thing in life.It took me years to understand life is not “black and white”.At least most my pictures are.

Sometimes “bleaching” out half a face with levels and light adds to the expression.

From the same roll as last time – Adi is the easiest person to shoot from my very limited experience.

Life is good. The only hard thing is University – but I will get on top of that.

I’ve been offered a Polaris sd100 for 90$ and since I need a new lightmeter I might take it – if I like the testdrive. I only own one camera with a light meter now so I depend on it indoors and at night.

these two seem to work together

in my head at least.


today I am going to see Auktyon among other things. Possibly do a little street shooting. Going to be a busy day.

I understood today that it is stupid to expect recognition of my photographic vision by all,when only a small group of people bears me as a person.That is a relief.I just need someone to remind that to me every time I start to get whiny.
