Selections from my photographs, writing (on the desert and on my childhood in Curaçao), artwork, curatorship, as well as a section on my political and human rights activities and an online art exhibit on the wall between Israel and occupied Palestine.

I also added family photos, recent ones, taken by myself or by my son, Itamar, as well as old photos from Curacao family collections, some from the early twentieth century.

My photos from July 2007 onwards are taken with a Nikon 40 DX with 18-135mm lens - the lightest reflex camera I could find, so that I can carry it on my waist while hiking, have it in close reach but also have my hands free to go up rocks in narrow gorges.

Note that you can undo the effects in the slideshow (I recommend) and make it slower or faster. It is possible to view all sections as one continuous slideshow, or to view each one individually, which makes it easier to read the texts.
