Unexpected Voices of Dissent
Students throughout the United States oppose their government's arming of Israel's genocidal war in Gaza against Palestinians. The White House responded by denouncing the protestors as "anti-semitic." The day that NYU students' encampment was removed there was a protest on campus that included this group of Haredi Jews from the group Neturei Karta. Their statement in support of the student protestors included a powerful response to the White House: "Labeling People as Anti-Semites Cannot Justify Occupation and Brutality".
I currently reside in Brooklyn, New York. My journalistic portraiture, landscape and event photography is motivated by my support to specific social causes and the struggle for social justice around the world. My portraits are motivated by my love of dance, jazz and classical music and my deep respect and admiration for the performers. My landscape and wildlife photography is motivated by the creativity and beauty of nature. My intent is for the viewer to travel into the photographic scene and absorb the emotions, energy and serenity the landscape, the person or the scene emits.
