In This Land
1965
A photographic album of the landscapes of Israel-Palestine before the 1967 Israeli-Arab war.
In the opening text, the photographer writes: “Land, land and its many children. And each person has his own land, which he carries in his heart. The image of this land he has chosen according to his own vision. It is sands, rocks, and waters that can be touched, interwoven with imagined landscapes that only he can see. This is how he loves to see it, and thus it is his—his alone. Among many lands, this one is mine: ‘The Land of Genesis.’”
