who am i?

I’m Lindsey, a 26-year-old American-Israeli living in Tel Aviv. A firm believer in the power of storytelling, I am a writer and photographer focused on highlighting the delicate balance between Israeli democracy and security. When I’m not behind the lens, I work as a writer at the New Israel Fund, the leading NGO promoting democracy, human rights, and equality in Israel.

I fell in love with digital photography at eight years old and film at fourteen, with dreams of becoming a photojournalist for National Geographic. I eventually outgrew that dream (for the most part) and set my camera aside during university and graduate school. But I’m back behind the lens with stories to tell and a renewed excitement for documenting the world around me.

I spend most of my free time reading, writing, or shaking saltwater out of my ears after a day at the beach. I am exceptionally loud and almost always late but mostly, I care about making the world a better, more just place.
