Your gallery is very impressive. "Landscape of the West" hit home with me, living not far from this area.

Congrats on the book.

As a frequent visitor to your galleries, I am happy to hear that you were offered a book deal.

I have a special interest in the wall, and your often poignant images convey much of the misery this has caused to people's lives.

Please don't stop posting now that you have become famous

Hi Jean.

Thanks for your encourgment.

What you do not see in my photos is something that has mostly disapeared with the wall:

The terrorism against israeli civilian is way way down.

Take a look at this photo:

borring - isn't it ?

This is a photo of a town INSIDE Israel, on the Israeli side of the border with the Palestinin west bank. Behind the wall is Palestinian twon called Swaika.

Just 4 years ago this man could not walk there because constat shoting by Palestinians from the other side of the wall. Just something to keep in mind when you watch my photos.
