A great place for Old School Graffiti is the Old City of Jerusalem and Eastern Jerusalem. It's sad to say , but due to the bad political situation a lot of places haven't been renovated and as far as preserving the past this is actually good. Many shops and institutions have remained exactly the same for the last 60 years or more.

I prefer though to have the city divided in order to get an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, hoping that I'll be able to come and visit peacefully.

Amazing location tour - Jerusalem

These are a few shots from the location tour I did today in the Old City of Jerusalem.

My friend , Sharon Shaveet from www.biblicalproductions.com , who is an expert of Jerusalem , guided me.

We went looking for beautiful churches.

I am planning a project with light , mysterious light.

I took black and white film with me , and shot at the Armenian church , at the huge and amazing church of The Holy Sepulchre , and a couple more.

We visited some ancient libraries , a few hidden gardens , walked the Via Dolorosa , visited Mount Zion ,and had lunch at an Armenian restaurant.

I am very curious to see my films developed.
