Every and each is unique,
everyone is special,
everyday Purim – very
obvious, especially
here.
My eye catches the different, the beautiful, the strange, the
unusual
And there is a lot of it in the human river
flowing towards me

The sun illuminate sometimes the grey and brightly illuminating life.
The well known street with its large shops filled with many commodities, the Mecca of the Western World Is bustling with people.
So many people.
And there are more, getting off the huge busses, emerging from the underground tunnels, disappear within the shops – again and again

And there are more, getting off the huge busses ,emerging from the underground tunnels, disappear within the shops –
again and again
I went hunting – moments and people on the main thoroghfair of England
I stood at the street cornerMy back to sun, facing the human river

So many people, Oh God so many
Almost inhuman, these numbers of people
And while pushing the camera’s buttonsThe thoughts and the reflections are flowing

So many people – and in this big cityIt is so easy to be in solitude
So prevalent to be aloneIt is not difficult to be lonely
After all, loneliness is the sickness that its up the city dwellers,The loneliness and the estrangement.
A flowing human river, and there is no contactMillions of dots moving around but never create a whole
Do not create a thing – just transfer themselves from here to thereAnonymity in the flood

I stood there taking pictures.Everything happens so fast, it is difficult to catch the moment
And this is what I wanted – to catch the momentI take pictures – nobody cares
No one notice meI am too an anonymous dot within the multitude
Not knowing and unknown

So many people – each one looks differently
Totally different and so unlike the other

I loved the strength of the human diversity
The multifaceted mosaics of forms and colors

Each person is differentDesigns himself presenting a different face to the world\
He is unseparated and at the same time separated,
different, within this. Bubbling multitude.
After standing there, alone, for a while, thus human river
is a bit frightening.
So many strangers, so many others….
I want to go home….
Taxi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
