A bit about me....
After getting
engaged on January 12th, 2004, I
married
Ayala on June 1st, 2004, portraits [here],
pictures [here],
video [here]. Ayala gave birth to our son, Natan Kalman Yaakov on the
4th October 2006 [brit],
[pidyon
haben]. You can see his latest pictures in the
photoalbums.
I grew up in Leeds, England and made Aliya in 1992 shortly after finishing my
degree. Have been living in Jerusalem ever since. Helped form the
Late
Late Minyan and was very active in the Jewish Anglo community in Katamon, Jerusalem.
Recently (coinciding with Natan’s birth) we moved to Givat C in Modiin where we
bought an apartment
I took up Tora Dojo a
form of Karate based on Shotokan until black belt whereupon it turns to Kung Fu. Of
course only being a purple belt I need not worry about such things for a decade
or so! You can visit their website on
www.toradojo.co.il.
Of course when I choose not to be so active, I also take
great pleasure in photography. This is also a recent hobby of mine since I
bought myself a nice digital camera and have great fun, particularly at weddings
trying to get mug shots of people that I can blackmail them later with <grin>. More
recently After seeing what
horrible pictures people post of themselves on dating sites, I decided a new
side venture: www.tzilum.com
. Check it out!
Since of course there aren’t that many singles in Modiin, I am looking into
family portraiture. More to follow...
Professionally, well you can click on my CV above if you
want to know all the gory details, but suffice to say that I am very happy at my
new role running my typesetting company,
Jerusalem Typesetting.
