The story about how I went to an airport and didnt fly.

July 21, 2009

Well, Dont worry, its not like my flight was canceled or something, I just wasn’t there in order to fly.

Few month ago, my ant told us that a friend of her, a former worker of the Israeli Airports Authority, which is the body that runs most of the Israeli airports and borders passes is arranging tours in Ben Gurion airport, which goes to places you will usually dont have access to, and asked us if we would like to join.

Me, being the aviation fun I am, quickly took the offer, and than, few month later, 20.7, me, my family, and 2 of my friends went to the tour at Ben Gurion Airport.

What can I say? It was even better than flying from the airport (Yea, thats what I keep telling myself :) ).

We went almost around the all airport, went to the huge baggage handling basement, operation center, Ramon Tower, which coordinates different bodies in the airport and has a great view on the airport parking/taxiways/runways, and we also walked just a little bit near some of the parking’s and jetways, not enough :)

Anyway, the best part of it all, that I was allowed to photograph everywhere, and I actually like what I shot.

So here, for your enjoyment, come to Israel, we have a great airport :P :

Baggage Handling – I sure do hope they will treat our baggage with a little bit more respect :) :

Summer, Summer… Summer!

July 5, 2009

Yesterday.. All my troubles seemed so far away…
Oh, yea, blog.
Yesterday and today were 2 great days, probably the first I actually felt it is summer!
me and few of my friends had a “console night”, we hooked up 2 xbox 360 to 2 tv, halo 3, cod 4, 1 vs 100, the good life :)
Of course, this night couldnt end without an EPIC photo:

Tomer`s (loosing :D ) hand holding a winning controller.
Oh, the irony :D
Anyway, today was even a better day, when me and my good friend yakir decided to go all slowmo and stop the time, once again, by exploding a baloon.
It came out a little bit different than the last time due to the different shutter value, you might like it better, or the other way, anyway, as always, its a cool thing to shoot:

He sure knows how to blow. up balloons.
And I sure know how take 5734ish unsuccessful shots of him doing that :)
The older photo for reference:

Anywhohowway, this is it for now,
stay tuned for more.
And yes, Im talking about you! one of the 16 different random visitors to this godforsaken blog. :P
