Merry Christmas to all my friends, have a great holiday

Dear friends,
I'm happy to announce the formation of a new International Street Photography collective - Street Gang
The collective was co-founded by Felix Lupa, Sagi Kortler, Eyal Binehaker and Alex Levac.
Check out our new web site

Also follow us on Facebook
The Official Street Gang Page

In a way, street photography is an approach, it's the way the photographer sees and feel things and how he reacts to the things he sees in front of him.The street photographer's work is very much influenced by the photographer's education, cultural and society surroundings in which he was raised and lives in and his life experience in almost every aspects of life.  In return, the photography also starts to influence the photographer. He starts to see the world as a photo book. Influences blend back and forth to a point of a blur, to a point where the photographer and his photography become one. At this point the photographer's unique style is born.

The holy Fire is described by Orthodox Christians as a miracle that occurs every year at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on Great Saturday, or Holy Saturday, the day preceding Orthodox Easter.

The Ethiopian Church has no presence rights in the ceremony and therefore holds its own ceremony later that evening at the courtyard of the Deir Al-Sultan monastery, which sits above the Holy Sepulchre church.
The Ethiopian pilgrims pour into the courtyard from early hours of the day to pray and celebrate the Holy Fire later in the evening.
The peak of the event occurs when candles are being lit and the pilgrims chant and surround the courtyard center three time
