Artist's Comments

This was taken while my Reserve duty in Gaza, February 2004.

This shot was taken before going on a morning patrol in Gaza.
A patrol that always manges to surprise us with god know what.
In jewish relegion we say a prayer upon embarking on a journey.
This is my friend Ilan in a minute of prayer.

We came back safe :D

A fool in love makes no sense to me.
I only think you are a fool
If you do not love.

as usual an excellent expressive and thought provoking photograph!!!!
it seems like the bane of our times... the need to subject young minds to the tortures of mindless violence... someday we will change this... i definitely plan to do something abt it... someday artists like you will be allowed to just carry cameras... and not guns... and mornings will start with prayers thanking for another beautiful day rather than safe return.
(just my thoughts on this whole mess in our world... i hope to gather as many people as i can to start doing wt i intend to.... slowly and steadily we need to start changing things... we really need to!!!!)

There will be a time when change will mean survival, and I will be ready then.
