Olive Trees II

Today I ventured back to Mt. Scopus for another demonstration with the Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity Movement protesting the development of a national park on Palestinian land. If you recall, last week’s demonstration involved preparing the ground for planting olive trees, and this week, they planted the trees!! Just in time for the Jewish holiday Tu Bishvat also, a nice touch for Israeli-Palestinian solidarity.

I am a recent graduate of Carleton College where I double majored in History and Cinema and Media studies. My websites chronicle several of my adventures during my time at Carleton, including the New Media Seminar in New York and Europe, my bike trip down the Iron Curtain Trail on a Ted Mullin Fellowship, and my integrative exercise in Cinema and Media studies which explores Rephotography in theory and practice along the Iron Curtain. I am currently in the midst of an extended adventure documenting borders in Israel/Palestine, Cyprus, and Northern Ireland, pursuing my passion for travel and a career in photojournalism.
