I love this camera



This is not just another Nikon camera. This is my personal Nikon camera. I have it for almost 3 years. It's mine since June 2015. I took this photo at the day I bought it. I took a part at art exhibitions with photos that I took with some ordinary cameras. This is my first professional camera. Now I really don't understand how didn't I have one like this before. I have some more photography options than I had before and it gives me a better quality in the photos. So, it isn't new now and I used it a lot, so now it doesn't worth much money, but the fact it's mine for so long and things I had with it - I just love it. And this is a bit, some are personal photography, some for publicity:

- I took many photos of my niece and nephews. I can show some photos of my niece, but the nephews are from my other sister and she doesn't accept yet to publish photos of her sons.

- I took many photos but not enough of Poncho, the Labrador mixed with Golden Retriver I had.

- I took some photos at a foundation that I volunteer at. It's a dogs and cats' shelter. They need the photos for finding homes for the dogs and cats.
- Old Poncho has passed away from a terrible illness. I adopted Pai (or maybe he adopted me) from the foundation. I took some photos of him, but still not enough. 

- I went for few dancing photography workshops. First time was to see that I could take this kind of photos, the other times were because I enjoy doing it.

- I went on taking photos of flamenco. I still do. It including taking photos of my teacher (I'm a non pro dancer) and some friends. Most of times it happened at live shows, but 3 times I took photos also at rehearsals. At rehearsals it included the Spanish/international dancer Miguel Angel who's a good friend of mine (and I'm proud at). Once three photos of mine has been used for my happiness for marketing Sarona TLV when I took photos at a show that happened there. Some other photos has been taken for publishing some other shows, at Israel and Spain. One photo also has been taken for publishing a workshop. I still take some flamenco photos when I have my chance.

- First music show without a connection to flamenco gave me an entrance to net music Israeli magazine called Raash Magazine. I've been there for a year and a half till it was enough for me there. I took photos at many live music shows at this time, mostly for the magazine. I took some photos at a lecture about music for the magazine. At the name of the magazine I also have been once at a press conference with my camera.


- A photo that I took of Yarona Caspi has been published at local printed magazine with the right credit. Another photo that I took of hers has been taken for a poster for two more shows of hers. I've been given my photography credit on the poster itself.
- After leaving Raash Magazine I took photos at few more music shows, two shows are of groups from USA and Canada. The Canadian group has received an article at Ha'Maazine magazine with my photos. 

- I took some photos at the drag line DUYA which was drag parties and shows.

- I started to like making food photography. 

- After having some photography experience I went for two official and serious photography courses. 

- I took also a circus photography workshop. 

- While waiting for the next time of taking stage arts photography without workshops - I took some photos of my niece at Purim costume and took my camera for travel I went to with my family. Few hours travel

So, I think I had a lot with this camera. And those are most but not all of the things. I love my camera for that

DUYA - April 2017

No mistake at headline. Almost a year since taking the photos I took the time to publish some. Some photos that I took at the drag line DUYA at April 2017, the one year party for the line. A long story no one didn't it publish at Facebook page of DUYA. Few has been published by couple of performers, one by me - a photo that another photographer took of mine at backstage with my camera. I choosed to publish here one photo of the host Joanna Russ and one photo of each performer on stage. At my Facebook page - Orna Timen Official Page - there is the full album (the party before show, many photos from the show itself, after party and the photo that I was the model).

Zoya


This is a photo that recently I took of the
actress/drag king Zoya Bronshteyn.
That was when she performed as a drag king at DUYA.
Her stage name as drag is 
The artist formerly known as Anton.

So, she really loved this photo.
She uploaded this photo to her Instagram
with photography credit and a credit to DUYA.
That's for telling about a performance at her
theater that she is the artistic manager and 
decided to mix her two biggest loves,
theater and drag.

I'm truly proud because from the times
that I saw her on stage - she is talented
