New England part 2

New England part 2

As photographed by Jair (Yair) Moreshet, 1986-2007

Music: Vivaldi, the Four Seasons - Concerto No. 4 in F Minor, 3rd movement

Background:

For those who don’t know me, I am originally an Israeli, where I was born and spent most of my life and career (including 33 years of active military service - compulsory - in parallel…). As opposed to most, my motivation in coming to America wasn’t religion or socio-economic. It was rather the landscape of New England that I met as an amateur photographer while spending here my sabbatical leave in the 1980’s.

My sample photography here extends to 2-part presentation and begins with photos produced in the 1980’s using my then modest film camera, but nevertheless represent “my first impression”. They then followed by the ones produced more recently using my refined, more recent equipment (and skills). Both then and recently, many pictures were taken in the relatively close neighborhood.

The 2-part presentation is in part due by a promise to my sister as a supplement to her own recent (artistic) exploratory visit.
