My hero from Jerusalem open-air Mahane Yehuda market.

avatar

I photographed her carrier all these goodies at the end of the busy day in Jerusalem. After a long walk through the open-air market, the Mea Shearim area, and the central part of the city. I saw this moment and the power of the woman's hands and had no doubts from this moment that she will be my HERO of this day. I took two images - seems like after the first one she put her attention on my small camera, but I was too close to her to stay hidden, and she smiled when imagined how strong she looks.
On the same day, when I only arrived in Jerusalem, I saw another woman, from the religious community carrying a huge mattress alone on her shoulder. The happening was so amazing, but too far from me sitting in the car in the middle of the road. I just photographed her with my eyes, remembered this moment for my whole life, and continued driving to my final destination.
This is really a woman's world have i say you :-)))

She looks so strong! Not because she is holding those things but because she is smiling no matter what. Good Job like always my friend. 🤍
How is living there? Are you happy with your place?

you're right Clarissa - all this together makes her a strong person.
thank you for asking - life is good, sometimes I hate this place, and sometimes I love it more than usual, seems like everyone depends on the situation. Living here become very expensive. But this is the whole world problem right now as I know. Last year's traffic jams just killed me - this became the biggest problem these days.
Hope that everything is nice at your side Clarissa
Thank you for taking a look ! 💚💚💚

I understand. There is no perfect life. Even those who have billions are not happy. 🤍

This is a well-captured situation.
I like street photography. I always try not to let the "model" see me, to make the photo spontaneous.
