Digital BW, The Print

Yaakov, this is wonderful news!  Your images, whether filled with lyric 
beauty or profound sadness, represent some of the best of what 
photography can be, and will both elevate and inspire all those who seek 
to express their own artistic vision. 

"Man In The Moon" simply takes my breath away, and, by itself, justifies 
the price of the book.  I've stood on the Mount of Olives on a full moon 
night and looked west across the Temple Mount to the Old City and West 
Jerusalem, and seen the magic you've captured in this picture.  Truly, 
it brings tears to my eyes.  As, for very different reasons, does the 
rail car image from Yad Vashem. 

Your work reminds me of the best of the pictorialists of the early 20th 
century, whose work inspired me at a very early age to become a 
photographer.  You, too, create an evocative, interpretative 
representation of what you see, rather than a mere replication of 
reality.  This, to my way of thinking, is what photography should be, 
but so very rarely is.

I'll be ordering a copy of the book, and wish you every imaginable 
success with it. 

Mazal tov!
