Mar 24, 2013 - Florian Jaenicke
Since today is Palm Sunday (Sunday before Easter to commemorate Jesus arrival in Jerusalem), I thought this project might fit perfectly into this blog: Back in 1999 everybody was worried about the millenium bug, the millenium dome in London and a lot of other things which seemed to be different after the turn of the century. In fact pretty much nothing changed, not even the millenium dome was finished in time. In this year I was sent to Israel to do a story about german jews playing football representing Germany on the Maccabiah, the so called jewish olympic games. I was very impressed about how different the country comes across to visitors who only saw its portrayal on TV before, either images of palestines throwing stones at israel army tanks or other romantic tourist views of religious sights. My interest lied in showing the everyday Israel and I found it only logical at the time to follow the footsteps of Christ - after all the millenium marked his birthday above everything else. The pics were printed as a cover story in The Sunday Telegraph Magazine and shown in the Museum Altona, Hamburg
