Adi Porges

Adi Porges is a windsurfer.
She has served in the Israeli Army teaching sign language to deaf soldiers and has achieved some fame as a fashion model, but mostly she’s interested in water sports.

There are hundreds like her on Maui at any one time.
It’s an irony only Israel could produce: the sons and daughters of the Judean desert marching onto airplanes bound for tropical surf.
Porges is from the Golan Heights, a rocky, hilly rugged terrain captured by Israeli commandos in the 1967 war. Despite the nightmarish political environment, Golan Heights is free loving and tie-dyed—much like Paia.Source : Maui Time, Feb. 2005

Dan Porges loves people. "I like people to smile, to look pleasant, to appear young." In
every portrait, Porges attempts to make the people he loves "look the best they can in my eyes."
Portraiture is one of the most challenging and responsible, as well as rewarding, areas of photography.
The Jerusalem-born Porges asserts that "a good portrait captures the eyes, the essence, the soul of the person, and actually is also a portrait of the photographer."
In other words, a portrait is not only an interpretation of the subject, but also a reflection of the photographer's training, experience, personality and character.
Porges's father was a keen amateur photographer.
Because he died when Dan was a child, "anything connected with him made me nostalgic.
So I started playing with his camera, an old Contax that had been dropped so many times it didn't even take sharp pictures."
