I met Miki during my journeys through Asia. She has an amazing personality that I got a little taste of when we decided to meet up again in Israël.

She lives a beautiful life and she showed me Israël's interresting culture and the beautiful places this country has to offer and I'm forever grateful for that. This short clip however, isn't about Israel. It's a video portrait of Miki.

There ya go Miki, this one's for you.

Filmed with a Panasonic Lumix GH2

    I see why you're enamored of her. You did a beautiful short portrait of a day in her lovely life. Makes me sad to think that Israel is in such a dangerous situation with Hamas. It is a beautiful developed country. The people trying to destroy it are evil, pure and simple, and there will never be a 2 state solution until the violence stops.

    Yeah, they really have a difficult history and situation in Israel but I guess that's also what shaped the people and it's culture. I'm glad I got the oppurtunity to see it with my own eyes. Thanks for viewing the video.

  • This is an absolutely beautiful video. I came away with the feeling that I knew her, I knew about her, I knew how much she loved life. It also shows that people around the world are just like everyone else: we want to find love, happiness, and peace. Well done.

    I enjoyed the song and the video very much. Did you make both?
  • Peter Schagen plus 2 months ago
    No just the video. Wish I had the talent to make great songs though. ;-)

    If you get a chance please check out my videos here on Vimeo and a whole lot more on Youtube.com/daskitso. I have a comedic web series called "Code 4: Security Officer on Duty" plus some fun music and other stuff.

    Great! Too bad we don't hear her talking. The last time I was in Israel was after the Sixday War in June 68. Something changed I can see in yr movie. Hope you make more vids about this great country where I was once very happy!

    Hi! I never heard of the six day war until I looked it up on Youtube. It happened way back before I was born but that must have been quite a scary period to live there.

    The Israel that I saw is still beautiful and I'll probably go back some day to experience it's amazing culture and landscapes again. Thanks for watching my video.

    WHat did you use to color this?
  • Peter Schagen plus 1 month ago
    hi there, I think I just played with the saturation and contrast a little bit on this video. The image quality the camera captured that day were already pretty good. Cheers!
