I am Yossi Kolesnicov of the Clan Kolesnicov. I was born in 1979 in the village of Buenos Aires on the shores of Loch De La Plata. And I am immortal.

Clan Kolesnicov (my branch) now lives mostly in Ashkelon, Israel, with members in Argentina, Spain and the US. If you like you can learn more about them in the Family gallery.

I'm married to Efrat and we live in Rechovot, Israel, with our four cats - Hatulik, Luna, Katanchook and Johnny. I earn my living as a freelance web designer/programmer and photographer. A big part of my photography is work is done for VR tours, with my friend and partner Elie.

My favorite color is Blue. No, Yellow! Nevermind. Speaking of which, music is my biggest passion, aside from Efrat. To really know about me, you'd have to know about Tool, King Crimson, Nirvana, Neil Young, Nick Cave, The Gathering, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Opeth, Alice in Chains, Portishead, Shpongle, Beth Orton, Satie, Iron Maiden, Haggard, Led Zeppelin, Regina Spektor, PJ Harvey and many more.

I graduated at photography studies from the Hadassah College in Jerusalem after three years, between 2002-2005. It was a wonderful and fertile time for me.

I also like cooking. I don't like driving in Jerusalem, since the drivers hate each other and want to kill you.  I'm asthmatic and on medications for that. I like strong green tea. I like to wake up at 11:00. I hate second-hand smoking.

I'm a liberal, atheist extremist and resent Israel's policy which condones religious compulsion on its secular population. I hate racism and violence, but sometimes I want to kill all drivers in Jerusalem, and arab-looking people carring large bags in buses in Jerusalem make me afraid.

To know more about me, you'll probably want to know about the likes of Tolkien, Carlton Mellick III, Douglas Adams, Jonathan Safran Foer, Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, Frank Herbert, Jonathan Franzen, Philip K. Dick. A good place to look for more understanding would be in the works of Joel Sternfeld, Ralph Meatyard, Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, Robert Adams, David Leventhal, Nick Waplington, Richard Billingham, William Eggleston and others. A good idea would be to know something about David Lynch, Charlie Kaufman, Monty Python, Darren Aronofsky, David Fincher, Pedro Almodóvar, George A. Romero, Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead!) and others.

Now you know a bit about me. I would like to know about you too. Please tell me what makes you tick, using the Contact page.
