TEL-AVIV – We spent the day walking here, enjoying the Bauhaus architecture and a lot of interesting food.
Day 3510 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date six hears ago (day 1319 of one photo every day): infrared images taken with my Leica M8, which was sensitive to the near infrared spectrum.
PETRA JORDAN – Nine images today – I had real trouble editing down to a reasonable number of images. This is the major, one might say the only, tourist site in Jordan, recieving about a million visits each year. It’s important to start walking up the canyon very early to arrive at the center of this vast complex before the tourist tsunami arrives. Great day – worth a voyage.
Day 3509 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date three years ago (day 2413 of one photo every day): Alley, Manhattan.
WADI RUM JORDAN – We spent the morning here touring this lovely high desert with a charming guide. Reminds me of Utah. A lot. Except for the outfits people wear. In the afternoon we were on the road to Petra, our objective for the day.
Day 3508 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date four years ago (day 2047 of one photo every day): Grayson and Anthony.
WADI RUM JORDAN – We spent the day getting here, walking across the border at Elat Israel. Wadi Rum is picturesque desert – it’s where Lawrence of Arabia and the Martian were filmed. We stayed in a tented encampment. These used to have tents in Arabian style; they are now mostly geodesic domes, Martian style.

On thiis date four years ago (day 2046 of one photo every day): Garden.
TEL-AVIV – I was prepared to be indifferent to this place, but I actually like it a lot. Los Angels climate but on a more livable scale. Hip and a little edgy. Good food. Downside: new architecture is South Beach dreary.
Day 3506 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date nine years ago (day 291 of one photo every day): A “look up” close to home.
