miluim (army reserve period)

web counter

Last week I accompanied an Israeli army unit in one of its reserve period duty.
I wanted to share with you my impressions.
Enjoy!

Excellente galerie. Je suis venue quelques fois déjà mais ne savais pas au juste comment en parler.
Je vois mieux maintenant: le type de cadrages, les contrastes et le traitement font que l'on sent ton point de vue "de l'intérieur". Documentaire, d'un documentariste "immergé", mais qui continue d'avoir assez de distance pour voir.
Dan Chusid PM reply 28-Nov-2006 00:59
Nice documentary job Fred.

What a nice and interesting gallery . Far from all clichés , and so human .
Congratulations !!!
Piotr Stankiewicz PM reply 23-Nov-2006 21:30
I like a lot the composition of your photos (it's really good!) and the sepia similar tonning (how did you achieve it?). But telling the truth, I would expect more action - shooting, martial arts training, vehicle driving etc. etc. The photos seems to be in most part rather some kind of portrait gallery thant army work reportage. Sure faces are important but I would expect a bit more.... Take care!

Je me suis empressé d'associer mon commentaire au début de la parution de cette gallerie en attendant la suite, afin de voter en connaissance de cause. J'y trouve une parfaite homogéneité des tons, des couleurs, le sens de l'instant, le bon cadrage... beaucoup de talent photographique. Un témoignage pudique et humain hors de toute hystérie activiste ou militante.

Dear Ernesto,
I'm glad that you didn't see in my gallery any Israeli soldiers butchering or killing innocent civilians.
I would have enjoy to capture a lebanese child smile for you, but "jumping the wall" means for me suicide.
The gallery shows the real life on the other side of the wall. (This side you don't know!)

I would like to thanks Ernesto to give me the opportunity to say to all of you that my gallery has no political interest. This is only one week of my life that I wanted to share with you. No more.
There are a lot of ways to express your hate for Israel. I will not give you the pleasure to do it through my gallery.
any future inappropriate comment will be deleted.
Thanks
Fred
Ernesto Garcia 21-Nov-2006 02:52
I didnt see any pictures where the Israeli soliders are
BUTCHERING or KILLING any innocent civilians.
I know they are well photographs and its a reserve period traing exercise.
However I would rather see the impression on the face of the young
Lebonanese child after an Israeli bomb levels his whole city.
I wonder will you be there to capture that smile for us?
Maybe you should jump the wall and check out how real people live Fred.

Autant joindre l'utile à l'agréable. Tu nous fais partager ces moments avec toi par l'intermédiaire de superbes images à la manière d'un reportage en immersion. Nous découvrons ce quotidien sous une lumière très différente! J'espère une suite prochaine...
