Since my last post, the 2010-2011 bar mitzvah season has come and gone. Before my blog fills up with images from this summer’s weddings and travels, I’ll update you on the bar mitzvahs I had the privilege of photographing. Instead of event by event posts, though, I’m trying something new.
As usual, I can only write about winter from the safety of a warm summer day. But I will say now, sitting in shorts and a tank top, that the snow did look pretty by the entrance of Shaaray Tefila on that morning in January. And I can admit, after a lengthy string of June-green days, that there’s something wonderful about waiting for those bare branches to show their first buds.
But I still like warm weather most of all.
Enjoy this bar mitzvah progression from winter to spring.
