Who Inspires You (OCT)

1/60, f/2.8, ISO-800

For this photo, I decided to capture my biggest Inspiration, my Grandfather. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a picture of my Saba Gilad in person, as lives all the way in Israel. Growing up in the United States as a first-generation immigrant, visits from my extended family were very infrequent. Despite this, during our annual get-togethers, we always make up for the lost time.

My grandfather spent his entire life committing himself to building Keshet Eilon, a world-class school for violinists around the world. Fighting against severe health conditions and his age, he continued trying his best to make his vision a reality, a true hard worker. As he finally begins his retirement this year, I hope that I am able to follow in his footsteps and find a dream that I’m passionate about and chase it until ends meet.
