Jerusalem Faces - part I

June 17, 2011

Walking the streets of Jerusalem I saw many interesting people. That's reasonable if we take into consideration that the Old City of Jerusalem has been traditionally divided into four quarters - the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarter.
In two months I've spent in Israel I have returned 3 times back to Jerusalem - mostly exploring the old walled city. There are many different cultures and religions mixed up at such small place. At the time of my visit, there have been couple of Jewish holidays, so I was lucky to see some special moments. One morning I spent couple of hours in front of Jaffa gates taking portraits of people passing by.
