1973
My first artist's book
In 1973, when my son Yoav was in kindergarten, I accompanied a group of children on a hike from Kibbutz Shamir to Kafr Saled. I documented the hike in photos, and after a few days, I created a manual book with rhymes and photographs. This book can be considered my first artist's book.
