Photography is magic

I decided to bring my blog back to life. It started when 3 years ago in the village where i used to live, a few beautiful old pine trees got cut down, while a heron colony was nesting and growing their new generation of chicks. It was a disaster. Dozens of chicks where killed from the fall, the tractors that where just smashing them under their wheels and starvation. We managed to save some but a lot of them got killed by the stupidity of human kind, which is scared of the uncontrollable.
At the time i started the blog i wrote in Hebrew. The reason was because i wanted to open the eyes of the village council and village residents and make them understand that that's not the way to handle and behave towards nature and its inhabitants. There are much better ways to solve such a problem/situation. This story got to the local news and after this affair, i think that it wont happen again. For the past 3 years nobody touched the grove again and i hope that also no one will do.
This blog is going to be about photography. I'm photographing already for 4 years, and don't have any clear direction in the field. Until now i just take pictures out of the pure fun of it. Everybody, or at least most of the professional photographers i talked to told me that the most important thing a photographer should decide is what kind of photography niche you want to professionalize in . Unfortunately, or maybe not, i still didn't decide and enjoy photography as it is. Who knows maybe ill manage get some where without making that decision.

 The first picture i upload is the picture i took by mistake with an old point and shoot camera. I don't know if this model is still in production but it was one of the older coolpix models. This picture i took on a family trip in Germany. I chose it because at this moment i realized that photography is magic. From then on, 4 years ago, until today I'm experimenting with this beautiful and magnificent art where reality gets its twist in front of our eyes...
