PhotoArt Blog
By Oren Hasson
Photography is the absorption of light through time onto a 2D receiver. An image is created. The creation — planning and executing — is a private and personal experience. Images may then take on a life of their own. Like music, they can have a personal, an artistic, or a social role. All of that is photography — rooted in technique, ending up somewhere in the world, at different destinations. That is what this blog is about.

A Sentinel Above Autumn Sunsets in Tel Baruch
I went a few times this autumn to photograph sunsets from above a cliff in Tel Baruch, a northern beach of Tel Aviv. Here are a few photographs, showing differences in light and techniques used.
Three Exposures Lunar Eclipse
On March 24th, 1997, in Ann Arbor Michigan, I created this three exposures photograph of a moon eclipse on a color slide. This post tells the story. It begins with a miracle in a freezing cold night, continues by explaining crucial technical decisions that made it happen, and ends with the final decision to show it in black and white.
Black and White Photography: Is it Art?
I describe here the make of a photograph, with deeper thoughts in mind. If a photograph is just a representation of reality, then what would it be if we change it in some major way, say, by erasing all colors? Is it still a photograph? If this is an artistic decision, what is art?
Irises
My first photo ever of an iris was of a naked mutated Gilboa Iris. In retrospect I can say: a butterfly had flapped its wings. It took me to an emotional photographic journey I had never expected. My gallery 'Iris to Iris' exhibits some of its fruits. This post tells the story.
