Pursuing Palestine

News out of Israel doesn’t match the truth of Palestine. Palestine and Israel: lands of beauty, power, and history. Palestinians: people displaced and terrorized who seek survival and a home in their ancestral country. In 2017 I visited Israel for two weeks. It wasn’t until the end of the trip that I started asking about Palestine. These photographs are vehicles to learn about the everyday Palestinian’s connection to the land, place, history, people and much more.
