The Middle-East has always been a target for my travel excursions, and I'm so glad me and the wife took the time to visit in 2013, for as the months go by and the political world crumbles under the modern Fascist surge, it is becoming increasingly difficult to travel these part's of the world, and what a shame that truth is...

This collection was shot with a Pentax K1000 on Kodak film.

Go with an open mind. Both the Isrealies and Palestinians are very accommodating. I am not a religious person and I am against Israeli government, but I visited as a neutral and avoided talking about the conflict. I went in October and the weather was great.

Amazing pictures

Thanks )

Great photos.

Did you have a chance to visit Hebron? I have a difficult time trying to explain the situation around there and how it feels as an outsider.

Excellent photos. Love the feeding of the bird shot

Amazing photos. Followed. I lived in the Middle East for two years, and it was a powerful experience.

Beautiful work! Thanks for this glimpse into a fascinating part of the world.

I live in Israel and these photographed are absolutely amazing

Amazing shots my friend, keep up the good work

Will do :)

Hi @cottonlazarus ! Wht I like most about your pictures is that only looking at them you are already telling a history. Beautiful work!

wish I could visit Israel! nice pics

Night market picture is stunning!

These two country are so so beautiful, unfortunately they are destroyed of politics.
