HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Journey Through a Dream, part 1 by Parish Kohanim

''I got my degree in film but love of still photography persuaded me to fallow my heart's desire and now since the industry tis taken a very strong direction in videography I did 3 experimental videos that depicted my photographic style. Almost all of the special effects were done in camera during the shoot and NOT in post.''

Parish's New Painterly Portraits

''I've always been fascinated by master painters and have always had a desire to paint but since I don't know how to draw or paint in a realistic style, I've chosen photography as a tool to enable me to do exactly that!... Create painterly portraits! I've done many of these portraits within the past 10 years but this image of Acacia is very special to me because I've never done anything like it before. The beautiful part was when I was photographing her she really understood and gave me the kind of look, energy and mood that I was after.  This is the incredible, gift and power of photography that I cherish... The priceless gift of meeting all the special people and their contributions throughout my career.''

''GIVING ART THROUGH YOUR HEART AND SOUL''

Gustava Dudamel / Mambo Video

We can all choose to be our very best, ''magnificent'' as Aristotle puts it. Gustavo Dudamel who is the most charismatic conductor of our times exemplifies this so well. As the attendance for most symphony orchestra performances are declining, Gustavo's concerts are completely sold out and he is one of the world's most sought-after conductors and you could see why... He is so passionate about his work, loves what he does and his contagious energy exhilarates audiences worldwide. 

Look for yourself and see if you agree. Fast forward this youtube video about two-thirds and watch him perform Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, Mambo. Even if classical is not your kind of music, you can certainly feel his love, exuberance and great gift.
