Old cars

I bought an old car last month, so I thought this would be the right moment to show a photo of two old cars I shot at the beach of Tel Aviv in August 1995.

(This is obviously the end of the NYC theme week.)

FM2, Tri-X, Rodinal.

Tower

This photo was taken in August 1995 in Tel Aviv. And if I remember correctly it's the Shalom Meir Tower which at that time was the highest building in the Middle East but has long been surpassed by others.

The FM2 with the 50/1.8 loaded with Tri-X.

Vamos a la playa

In 1995, I was in Israel for three weeks. While I enjoyed most of the country very much, I found the beach of Tel Aviv strangely repellent, especially the way to the beach of which I took this photo (and two others which are similar). I'm not sure anymore (I once was) whether this is one of my better pictures, but there's still a good reason to add it to this blog:

Nine years later I sold it (together with a couple of others) to an advertising agency which used it to illustrate a story for an in-house magazine of BMW. OK, the photos were chosen because I knew the graphical designer who did the magazine and I had long since given up my plans to become a pro photographer, but still I was kind of proud of this. Other photos from the same spread will follow in the next weeks.

Taken at the end of August with the Nikon and the 50/1.8, film was Tri-X developed in Agfa Rodinal.
