Had an interesting shoot yesterday and came back with a few photos I like.
Ceremony for recognition of excelling police officers, just a few days before Independence Day, started out like this…
President Shimon Peres and Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino are welcomed at the entrance to a pre-Independence Day ceremony paying tribute to excelling police officers. Jerusalem, Israel. 23-Apr-2012.
Then Shimon Peres got on stage and put up quite a show…
Israel Police Comissioner Yohanan Danino is greatly amused by story told by President Shimon Peres related to first Israel Police Commissioner, Yichezkel Sahar. Jerusalem, Israel. 23-Apr-2012.
Later, it got a bit personal…

And concluded with the Tikva…
