Author Description

Israel is a curated collection of photographs of the nation of Israel from the perspective of a true artist. Not content with merely capturing images of the typical landmarks, as iconic as they might be, Uli Seit's photos take us both to the streets and the wilderness, the major sites and the quiet corners to provide an intimate experience with the people, the culture, and the land. We see Israel from the viewpoint of someone entering the country not as a stranger waiting for permission, but as an old friend welcomed in through the open front door and getting a view of what is behind and underneath - physically, emotionally and spiritually.From the opening page we are invited to experience the slices of life, beauty of nature, story of archaeology, and complexity of culture and religion that is Israel and we are challenged to form our own opinion, make our own connection, and take our own journey. Israel is a sensitive photographic portrait of the land and its people, offering the reader a personal look into the passionate world of the photographer that transcends the visual to become an experience of beauty and revelation.
