The Jewish and Israel Photo Carnival is UP: JPix 10

Welcome to JPix 10


Home 2005
courtesy of The Next Step


It has been some time since Mr Bagel has had the pleasure of hosting a JPix Photo carnival.

In that time I've seen over the last 5 months the carnival grow from strength to strength. I must admit I never thought it would consistly get the quality of attention that it has received from the varying hosts. Every blogger has a different style, and that's something most of us have come to accept. A few bloggers excel in graphics, others in writing prose, some just for raw analytical skill others, otherswell they're just plain readable.

Hosting a JPix certainly challenges the graphic skills somewhat of some hosters, but it has also helps bring forward skills some bloggers haven't previously displayed. Any way getting to the short of it, JPix hosters so far have been a varied bunch in almost every way, there has been quite a deal in variation of displaying Photo's in the JPix carnival.

Yet there has been one quality that has remained constant every hoster has done an exceptional job at hosting JPix the Jewish Photo carnival.
If you'd like to have a go at hosting JPix then don't be shy.

Welcome to the tenth edition of JPix

Eretz Yisrael




Mincha Time

A Jerusalem Moment:Mincha Time
A long summer day is coming to a close. The sun is approaching the western horizon. It doesn't matter if you are at the home or at the office. It's "mincha time". You stop whatever you are doing and you head off to the synagogue. Here is what "mincha time" looks like at in the Sha'arei Chesed neighborhood: Cosmic X shows us A Jerusalem Moment: Mincha Time .
As sunset comes to Jerusalem Cosmic X also shows us Jerusalem Of Gold one of the 'Wolfson Towers' close to sunset.
Cosmic X stumps us with Another Mystery Tree In Jerusalem the answer is worthy of praise, his journeys also take us to The Other Side Of The Bridge .

Muse continued her adventures in Jerusaelm after being mistaken for a tourist by an enthusiastic guide, she exlaims I ended up at the Kotel, her day trip the other day provided a wealth of beautiful sights and scenes, and if you check out the next lot of photos the last one will make you end up exclaiming Ahhh, Jerusalem both posts are at me-ander.

ModraY takes us to Gan HaShlosha (Sakhne) posted at Israel In Photos he also takes us to Jaffa, Sabil Abu Nabut , and presents us with the visual feast Images of Israel 2007: Jaffa posted also at Israel In Photos. ModraY takes us to Peace Island on the Border of Israel and Jordan.[More about Peace Island] a place of both hope and despair. Theres some great views of everyday life in Haifa with Haifa, Hadar Hacarmel and Haifa, Wadi Nisnas.

It is with some irony I view the summer scenes shot by ModraY of 'Jerusalem Beach' in Tel Aviv whilst typing with frost bitten fingers on the other side of the world. Aliyah really does look attractive.
Little FrumHouse on the Prairie is visiting Israel and gives us Another Israel Update I hope baby and Dad are feeling better.

Batya from Shiloh Musings posts a series of photos documenting the march of settlers and right wing activists to the evacuated West BGank settlement of Homesh. Photos from Chomesh, 12-6-07, by Yoni

JPix 9 has just been finished by Mottel at Letters of Thought there's a great selection of photos, with many from some of the newest submitters to JPix, some of these photos are superb, make sure you have a peek.


While on the topic of JPix, next fortnight Mr Bagel will be hosting the tenth edition, seems Mr Bagel has got a few big plans if you have any photo posts be sure to submit them to be included in the 10th edition of JPix.

It's been a while since Mr Bagel has had a turn, and letting you in on a secret he is looking forward to it.

If you are interested in hosting an edition of JPix you can contact Aaron here editions have usually been booked months in advanced. This time there's two openings in the near future [JPix 12 and JPix 13]. I would especially welcome a new to the carnival JPixer, and would be quite willing to help any nervous soul.

Either way If you have been thinking of submitting your photos, well do it, and if you already are a carnival participant then its time to think about hosting JPix

JPix 3: Purim is all mixed up
A JPix not to be Missed!


Mr Bagel would like to announce that Me-ander has put the first part of JPix 3 Up! Yes this issue is so huge the Incredible Me-ander is doing it in two parts!
View more about the first half of JPix3 ...

JPix3 The Purim Edition


Can you guess who posted this picture??
JPix3 The Purim Edition

I shall never again underestimate Batya from Me-ander.
Just When I thought I knew her and her 'ways' she has thrown me totally off guard.

Me ander is the host of this weeks JPix 3, the Jewish Photo Carnival and not only is she doing a monumental job she has added an extra unforeseen dimension to it.

It seems Me-ander has become Purim Muddled and not only can't tell Haman from Mordecai, but can't tell which JBlogger has done which photo!

It makes for quite an interesting and different challenge. If you think you know what makes 'JBloggers' tick, then use your knowledge and try to guess who has posted which pictures.

Make sure you check out:

JPix No 2 : Welcome to the 2nd Jewish Photo Carnival




In beginning JPix carnival no 2, I have to say I'm quite over whelmed how many submissions this carnival has received to date. Its fairly obvious that there is a demand and need to have a Jewish Photo carnival.


Mixing it up!
This particular JPIx carnival, JPIX 2 , I'm going to try a slightly different format. Heck the Carnivals only 2 editions old, and I'd be surprised if you didn't see a lot more variations in the presentation of Photos and content.

Want to Host?

There's still a vacancy for the hosting of JPix 5,
Batya from Me-ander and Shiloh Musings is the Host for the next JPix 3,
Chaim from Life of Rubin is the host for JPix 4 .

If anyone has ever done a Haveil Havalim, Kosher Cooking Carnival, or other type of carnival then you'll be the first to agree hosting a carnival is quite a bit of work.

Yet in hosting a carnival you gain many things which aren't immediately obvious.

These include a huge increase in traffic, blog links to your blog, getting known by the Community and certainly not the least getting to know other fellow Jews and their blogs.

This isn't a definitive list of the benefits of hosting a carnival, but whilst JPix Carnival is a community carnival, those that host it aren't totally un rewarded.

Finally, I must say and state the obvious a carnival is only as good as the people and submissions they send; and the future for JPIx is looking fantastic, without any more speeches lets get right into it.

________________________

Welcome to the 2nd JPix
Carnival of Pictures.


Eretz Israel

First of I'd like to draw attention to Joshua who has the Blog Josh's Photos, Josh submitted a stunning photo last month called leaping upon the mountains but the very day I posted the first JPix carnival his blog had a problem and he missed out on the link, his photos are stunning and that's why I've featured Ramon Crater as the featured image for JPix 2.


Josh has some amazing photos of Mount Hermon posted on his blog.

I'm going to start with the slightly quirky Hermon Self Portrait

Make sure you also check out Josh's 'Hermon, Skiing in Israel' and Hermon snow in Israel

Consider adding Josh's Photos to your blog roll he has some exceptional photos




Akiva from Mystical Paths shows in A Small Mound of Dirt and Big Self Hatred some rarely seen perspectives of the area around Mugrabi gate outside the Temple Mount, which has been the focus of Islamic protests.
Above: Area around Mugrabi gate

Reb Nati from Mystical Paths takes us on a inspiring trip to BchaYordan in Just a Simple Day in the Life of Simple Jews

Right: Beauty in Just a Simple Day


Batya's been busy snapping photos, [although she is still being all thumbs on the new camera phone] she sent in this photo essay of a wintery day's walk, Not quite what I had planned...

It's doubtful you could get a better view of the Valley of Shiloh.
Right: Winter rains soak the Valley of Shiloh

Seems she's been me-andering around the neighborhood and through rain, hail, thunder and lightening. Batya seems to have gone Snappy mad, taking so many pictures from the International Book Fair, one could think she forgot what book fairs are for, with all the Photos she took.

Above: Signs of late winter are abundant

But considering she's the proud author of Chapter 18 of the new book Hide and Seek which she proudly holds stating I was there! Where were you? we understand her usual large dose enthusiasm

Right: Batya holding the newly released Hide and Seek

Yisrael Medad from My Right Word has a stunning picture of dawn breaking over Shiloh late last year, title Dawn At Shiloh, click on the blogger picture at his blog to see a size picture that does justice to this image.
Yisrael's neighbour has a spectacular almond tree in full blossom, check out Yisrael's blog to see The Blossoming Almond Tree .

Above: Shiloh at dawn

Yisrael
provided me with another picture Vale of Shiloh which was a large expansive picture of the Shiloh Valley, unfortunately I couldn't find it on My Right Word so I have uploaded it to photo hosting, and by clicking on the small picture you can see it.


Most of you will be aware of the importance of Shiloh in Judaism, but some may not be aware of the amazing mosaics which have been recently found in areas surrounding Shiloh. These archaeological treasures may 'never' have existed if Israelis hadn't become aware of them. Anyway I'll let someone far more qualified take you on this journey of Mosaic treasures.

With thanks to Yisrael Medad

Mosiac Treasures
1.It's Tu B'Av at Shiloh,




Evan
from Planet Israel talks about the Ateret Cohanim and their attempts at correcting an injustice one house at a time its a great essay with many photos.

It describes complex negotiations and the motif that persistence finally pays off.

Sights, Out and About


What else would you do when near Zion Square than go eating out Kosher, it seems Batya has had the busiest fortnight I've ever seen. There certainly wasn't a lack of colorful characters from her vantage point whilst eating her meal, the sunset on the way home looks breathtaking.

Her thumbs are back as she discovers her new mobile phone doesn't do some things her old phone did. Barely sleeping due to the worry of knowing if her new phone alarm would go off automatically like her old one. A restless sleep, hours fly by, and the new day dawns .

Above: A crimson sunset on returning to Shiloh

SoccerDad shows us some Snow scenes from this February around the home, and not to far away..

Left: lights reflect on refrozen snow


..In a more serious event he reports,in his post believe the road is fixed, that a major leaking main took over a week to fix in Baltimore , the only good coming from it were a couple of nice photos courtesy of SoccerDad.

Why am I thinking of T. S. Elliot?




If you think the snow was heavy or cold at SoccerDad's then your not going to believe what YamLive got up to.
Yamlive goes to Parish NY chasing 9ft deep snow!

Thanks to Chaim from Life of Rubin for pointing the weather vane.


I've heard of storm chasing but 9ft deep snow chasing?


They seem to know how to have fun Yamlive,
they were getting down and getting 'groovy'





Ya'aqov
from Esser Agaroth pointed out this Jewish blogger, Jewish Nation whom I'm sure a few of you will have never come across. It seems Emanuel is quite a talented if not sporadic photographer. Check out Lost Quarter , which is a brief photoessay of Barcelona's Jewish Quarter.

Right: The Lost Quarter


Mottel shows us a photo from his 'Picture of the week' series of Vintgar Gorge in Slovenia

Its a beautiful photo of the most iridescent greens, the detaill is amazing.


Left: Mottel, not thinking of diving in!







Left: A Drink for the Land




Baleboosteh has a post dealing with the recent heavy rains that her part of Australia recieved. Titled A Drink for the Land its an amazing change from only just recently when she displayed photos showing the drought.






In another series called Early Morning Dew she captures the lace like detasils of fine dew drouplerts hanging from spider webs

Right: Early Morning Dew


In her last series she busts some rather nosey neighbours, who are caught spying!
Busted! Nosey Neighbours Caught Spying!

It seems the other miniPT Rafiki from Frozen Cusatard ButterBurgers is Still working on that camera therefore doesn't have any photographs, and will hence forth have 'no recollection of adolescent school years'.

He has a pretty cool Video project, but we dont play Fulaxin videos here!

Right now she is set up with food, water and a litter box and is happily curled up in the rabbit cuddle. I’ll leave you with a picture of her I took when I brought her home:"

Left: From the Shadows

Mottels photo of Venezia and World Peace is very evocative of the past gone by, it seems to capture the essence of time passing, as though it is paradoxically a time lapse camera .


Mottel from Letters of Thought submitted the photo under Travel, but personally its such an exceptional photo, I have placed it in the Art category.

Right: of Venezia and World Peace

Mottel also has his Picture of the Week [8] The Old Jewish quarter of Lublin

"The lady walking forlornly down the cobblestone streets of a former bastion of Judaism struck a cord in me that resonated with the emotions of Majdanek ..."

Left: The Old Jewish Quarter of Lublin

There's something about the genre of black & white photography, I'm sure its more than the sense of age it conveys, its the tonal depth, contrast and its ability to pick up and accentuate images that in color would be rather more bland and less enlightening.

In black aand white nuances are seen, a perfect example is A Simple Jews Black and White picture of the Week, Within a Puddle, a beautiful photo, and an evocative title.



Snoopy the Goon
from SImply Jews shows us his not the only one feeling cold with Winter misery, wet nuts. Make sure you click on the smaller blogger picture to see the larger more detailed image.

Right: Winter Misery, wet nuts

Fun with Photos

The irrepressible Yid with Lid approached Bagelblogger asking if 'manipulated photos' could have a place on JPix, being a fan of Photographic satire myself, I could see no reason why not.

So it is with amusement that we view Yid with Lid's submission Mr President, Stop Buying Abbas' Snake Oil

Left: Abbas as PinicchioRight: Miss Piggy


I must admit Bagelblogger enjoys manipulating photos, and one I only did today is a deliberately obscure Miss Piggy.

I'm sure Yid's idea of a section for manipulated photos will become a very popular submission category in the future.


Flying Solo

[#] : [Individual photos submitted by Jews who are non bloggers.]

David Linn is a resident of Kew Gardens, New York, he co-administers the blog Beyond Teshuvah, and has written many articles . An example is Starting Off on the Right Foot which features photos he took in Ein Gedi

David needed to submit his photos separately from the group blog, his photos might not be blogged based but there definitely worth a peek..

2. Father and daughter in Hevron
3. Bris Milah in Maras Hamachpela
4. Female soldiers writing kvitlach at the Kotel

[#] Submitting Photos for non bloggers!

Not every one has a blog, and due to this some readers generaly miss out when it comes to participating in Carnivals. I had an enquiry related to this and, so in the interest of providing access to other Jews who aren't so computer savy or just plain well don't have blogs, I've established a Photo hosting account , JPixcarnival photo hosting where seperate files of photos can be submitted and displayed on JPix.

Now its quite some work, so if you do have a blog use your blog to display your photos, but if you know some one who would like to share there photos with the greater Jewish community then there is that opition now available.
