Jewish Photo.

Hi...

Today i am slow, then i write more speed. I read a article about a Jewish Photografer called Judah Passow, then I will make a little summary of what I read.

 The article describes the work of the photographer, on a journey after the death of his father, a Jewish historian and rabbi. Passow travel to different cities in Britain, in order to discover the small villages Jews.

His photography exposes the traditions of the Jewish people: the home, the family and the rituals, but also shows the Jew as the other British, breaking stereotypes developped throughout the world. His photographs were made for an exhibition at the Jewish Museum, but 100 photos were chosen to be published in a book of great edition.

Passow's photographs are a direct homage to his father, and Rachel Lichtenstein, author of the article, thinks that photography Passow, gives value to everyday moments in the history of peoples.

For me it was ineteresting read this article because I am studying Jewish culture in another university class, in which I can discover Jewish culture, breaking prototypes and building an informed opinion Jewish reality. I invite you to read the article for so down the typical image of the Jewish people.
