Freefall at 10,000 Feet

Mediterranean Skydiving

The photos on this page were shot with the courtesy of Skyclub, Israel's sole skydiving club, located on the Mediterranean coast, at Habonim, 20 kilometres south of Haifa.

Skydiving has developed into a highly popular sport in Israel, attracting the young and old alike, and people from all walks of life. At times I've had the opportunity to capture on film, a blind 10-year old girl and a 70-year old grandmother, but the sport definitely seems to hold a special allure for celebrities and models, always eager to earn dare-devil, but invariably certain, publicity.
