HOW I GOT THE
SHOT: The weather makers like me. It’s
probably because I don’t complain, but rather kvell over their creativity and
take every advantage to get out with my camera when the winds begin to stir.
Following a day of rain, the morning arrived misty and damp. A thick fog
battled a rising sun and in the ensuing tangle, magical light spread out across
the Judean Hills.

This shot emerged just
past sunrise as I climbed the stone stairway from the lower parking area of the
Sataf Nature Reserve near Ein Kerem. Recalling the advice of photographer David
Huffines to, “Turn around, because your best picture might be behind you,” I
paused to rest and gaze back down the hill. Soft artist’s light, pastel colors
and fallen blossoms converged into a dreamy composition.
I have to admit my
mind was directed toward a particular image for a client seeking a cover shot
for a book about life lessons learned in Israel. I liked the metaphor of the
pathway leading into the distance and almond blossoms are as much a symbol of
Israel as any natural feature blessing the land. Nature’s beauty is in her
imperfection. Likewise, this image has its share of faults, in particular the
hole in the blossoms at the top left corner and the branch pile in the lower
right corner. Nevertheless, the feeling of that entire morning still resonates
within me when I look at this photo. The almond blossoms have nearly faded and
once again I am grateful for climbing out of bed and diving into the day.
