I’m over here 
. Keeping up two separate blogs was a bit too time consuming so most of my ongoing posting is still on Around the Island, my original blog. I’d love for you to visit me there to see more of my work and life and to hear the latest news from my etsy and Society6 stores.
Today I'm Dreaming in Pink
Big things are happening at Around the Island Photography this week and just in time for the holidays too! After quite a bit of behind the scenes work I am delighted to tell you all that I have just launched a brand new product line – Photoverse Prints, faith-based and inspirational photography.
These fine art photographs are a beautiful way to share your faith and inspire others – and they make a wonderful holiday gift idea too. Imagine how meaningful it would be to give someone a gift created just for them, one that speaks directly to their heart in the most personal of ways. I’m offering my fine art photographs printed with meaningful verses from the Christian Scripture or any other verse, poem or quote you finds meaningful. I’ve got a number of ready-made prints for sale and am also offering a custom-designed offer – your favorite quote or verse on the photograph of your choice. (For my Jewish clients, a Judaica section is already in the works – and remember, a custom Photoverse print can have any quote you like on any of the photographs in my shop.)
Photoverse prints look wonderful framed and would make a really special Christmas gift, especially with a verse chosen especially for its personal meaning to the recipient. Searching for a unique gift idea for someone special? This might just fit the bill.
Click here to see the new Christian Art section at Around the Island Photography, and I’d be most grateful if you’d consider forwarding this on to anyone you think might find it of interest.
May All Your Fireworks Be Bright
Not ready to see those Fourth of July fireworks come to an end? Hang this stunningly dramatic floral firework in your home and you won’t have to. Israel’s Independence Day was back in May so I was thrilled to create this stand-in for the holiday fireworks I remember from childhood Fourth of July celebrations at the lake.
When you’re done with the barbecues and the celebrations swing by my etsy shop to stick this gorgeous photograph in your shopping cart and discover what else is new – with so many new pieces listed there’s sure to be one that’s just perfect for that nagging blank spot on your wall.

Old Jaffa Doorway
I’ve just taken a big step and entered my portfolio into the Artists Wanted competition, a very serious (and flippin’ expensive – yikes!) competition for emerging photographers. I’d be most grateful if you’d click through to my portfolio and rate it (preferably highly 
). All you need to do is click on the appropriate star, no registration or personal details necessary (hint: the 5th star on the right is “fantastic” – a 5-star rating). You can vote once every day until the contest closes.
My Artists Wanted Portfolio – click here to view and rate
Beyond the (albeit remote) chance of winning (a stupendously mindblowingly wonderful prize), the portfolio database will also be made available to a wide range of industry professionals, gallerists, etc. so I want to garner as much positive attention as possible to get my name and work in front of the people who call the shots.
So please – vote early and vote often.
Thanks so much,
Robin
Taking Tandem Nursing to New Heights
Until I saw this mama giraffe and her children at the Ramat Gan Safari Park here in Israel I never realized that some animals tandem nurse, I’d always assumed that the older nursling is weaned before the next one arrives. What a treat to witness such a special moment.
This image is not currently listed in my shop. If you’d like to purchase a copy let me know and I’ll make a listing for you right away – it would look great on the wall of a breastfeeding clinic. And while you’re here, take a moment to click through to the shop as well for more images that would look great on your home or office wall.)
