For a thoroughly Jewish experience when in Israel Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem is the place to go! "The Shuk", as it is often referred, is a happening place and much more than a marketplace. I found it an intriguing microcosm of Israeli life as many locals and tourists go there to shop or eat out. Watching the people communicate with one another or just be in their aloneness was an education. The marketplace, which has its origins in the 1800s, is partially covered and has more than 250 vendors who sell fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, fish, meat,cheeses,nuts, seeds, spices, cooking oils, wines and liquors; clothing and shoes; housewares, textiles, and Judaica. On Thursdays and Fridays, it is especially filled with shoppers who are stocking up for Shabbat. In recent times, The Shuk has become a center for nightlife with restaurants, bars, and live music. This photograph represents only one section of this very large complex.

I have enjoyed taking photos since I was a little girl, but especially began learning about the skill and art of photography in college; however, as years went by I, like most of us, put the camera in the drawer and would pull it out only for special occasions. For the most part, photography has been a passion that I put on the shelf; but now I have the opportunity to share with others some of my favorite photos,while exploring creative and new styles in photography and digital art. I enjoy taking photos of just about anything...animals, nature, vistas, people, architecture, and landscapes. I love it all! I am in awe of God's creation and ever so thankful that I have the opportunity to reflect a piece of it through a photograph. I hope...
