While waiting at the Zion gate, we walked a bit in the close by streets. One of the was leading strait to the King David Tomb.
Attached to the tomb itself, there is a room for studies and prayer. This man was praying by himself. He was walking from side to side, and hardly even noticed us.
when he sat down, never stopping the prayer, he leaned his head on his hand. That was the wat I caught him, among the books, and alone.
Solitude.
finally, a second shot from a blues gig that i went to a few weeks back. intense red i know - i tried this in b&w but it seemed to lose something so red it is. no crop, hardly any processing at all really.
Big Joe Louis was kind enough to allow me to shoot him and his band of Blues Kings - my first authorised gig in this respect! (i have plenty of high noise blurry compact shots from a million other gigs).
first of all i cannot possibly recommend enough to go and see these guys do their thing. everytime i've seen them play they blow the roof of the tiny "Aint Nothin But Blues Bar" in London. i'm not a huge blues critic by any means but as a close friend of mine recently stated, "I did not understand the blues until i experienced live blues at the Aint Nothin but Blues Bar!" (no I have no affiliation with the venue or the band). these guys truly love their music with the deepest passion and its an absolute pleasure to watch them perform. i was fortunate enough to meet each of them after the gig and all three were fantasticly friendly guys.
stay tuned for more photos ... perhaps some that are less red than this one ;)
Big Joe referred to his guitarist as King David, featured in this shot.

The church of All Saints is the parish church of Culmstock in Devon. The church has had this dedication with certainty since 1375 AD.
The church has a number of stained glass windows ranging in date from 1847 to 1991. This picture shows the figure of King David from the window in the South Aisle which in the middle depicts the Resurrection of Christ. According to the church guide the window dates to 1897. The verse under the figure is taken from II Samuel xxii : 1.
The columns (left bottom corner) are the remains of recently (1970s) discovered ancient Roman street in the jewish Quarters, not far King David's tomb. The view is as seen from the exit of King David's tomb. The street is situated below the modern street level. One part of the street is an arcade of galleries and shops, and the other part is an open-air reconstructed street.
